Martin, Ann M. Baby-Sitters Little Sister. #bk. 17

Read by Stephanie Drake

It's fun to be a Baby-sitters' Little Sister! Karen has three older brothers, and sometimes they are a pain. They won't take Karen to the movies. And they don't let her play football with them. Karen is so mad she decides not to talk to any boy - not her daddy or even the boy pets in her family. And maybe then Karen's brothers will finally be fair! Ann M. Martin is the creator of The Baby-sitters Club, which has more than 190 million books in print, making it one of the most popular series in the history of publishing. Her novels include A Corner of the Universe (a Newbery Honor Book), Belle Teal, Here Today, A Dog's Life, On Christmas Eve, and the Main Street and Family Tree series, as well as the much-loved collaborations P.S. Longer Letter Later and Snail Mail No More with Paula Danziger. Ann lives in upstate New York. Christine Almeda is a Filipino-American freelance illustrator from New Jersey.
