CB: Baby-Sitter's Club Graphix #9: Claudia and the New Girl - Ages 8+

Claudia has always been the most creative kid in her class...until Ashley Wyeth comes along.

Ashley's really different: She wears hippie clothes and has multiple earrings, and she's the most fantastic artist Claudia has ever met.

Ashley says Claudia is a great artist, too, but thinks she's wasting her artistic talent with The Baby-sitters Club. When Claudia starts spending more time with Ashley and missing BSC meetings, it becomes clear that Claudia has to make a decision — one of them has to go!
