More from the world of the Baby-Sitters Club! This series by Ann M. Martin and its various interpretations and spin-offs keeps on growing!

Karen is Kristy Thomas' (president of the Baby-Sitters Club) younger stepsister. She and her little brother Andrew spend most of their time living in the

"little house" with their mother and stepfather and the rest with their father, stepmother and step-siblings, including Kristy, in the "big house." In "Karen's Worst Day," the third in the Baby-Sitters Little Sister series, Karen wakes up to Saturday filled with ill-luck: she falls out of bed, her favorite TV show isn't on at its usual time, she get into a fight with her best friend, etc. And no matter what she does, she can't seem to catch a break.

It's simply style and layout make this book a good read for children making the transition from picture book and easy readers to full-on chapter books. What's more, they will easily identify with Karen's troubles, as she's a pretty typical second grader.
