The Baby-Sitters Club: Dawn and the Impossible Three by Gale Galligan - OPTIONAL

Galligan, Gale  The Baby-Sitters Club: Dawn and the Impossible Three, 149 pgs.  Scholastic, 2017.  $10.99  Content: Language: G; Mature Content: G; Violence: PG.  

Dawn just moved into town and she joins the Babysitters Club.  She gets assigned to a family who is divorced and the mother is always gone.  Dawn is always babysitting and she feels like the mom isn’t spending enough time with them and the kids are acting like Dawn is their mom.  One day while babysitting, she can’t find the oldest boy and so the entire neighborhood is looking for him.  It turns out that the dad had come to pick up the kids because it was his day and the mom had forgotten, so he decided to get back at the mom and take the boy to the park and to lunch.  In the end Dawn tells the mom that her kids need their mom.  

I like the pictures in this graphic novel.  This book is more intense than the other Babysitter Club series so far, because when the kid goes missing its upsetting.  I felt like some of the main characters were hard to like and near the end I was confused with the point the author was making.
