After Stacey moves back to New York, a vacancy in the club creates an opportunity for the eldest Pike child to graduate from charge to sitter–but opinions differ on whether Mallory is ready for the responsibility. Bolstered by a budding best friendship, Mallory and the latest new girl in town, Jessi Ramsey, decide to strike out on their own and threaten the BSC’s monopoly. Join us at the moping tree to hatch plans, talk horse books, and greet/meet the ambitious sixth grade sitters in Hello, Mallory.
