The hit series is back, to charm and inspire another generation of baby-sitters.

Jessi knows a secret language! She learned it from Matt Braddock, the BSC's newest charge. Matt's been deaf since birth, and he uses sign language to speak. Since Jessi is Matt's baby-sitter, she's been using sign language, too.

Soon all the kids in Stoneybrook want to learn to sign...which keeps the baby-sitters busy. Jessi's the busiest of all: she working on another secret just for Matt. Will she be able to keep the secret and pull off her special event?

Perfect story and AMAZING narrator. This reading is the best one in the series so far. She is natural and funny and the voices are subtle but delightful. Also the best story. The themes of inclusion, self-acceptance and service to others are wonderful.

PERFECTION

This is a great book and it teaches you a bit of ASL along the way! Do recommend, and Katy Beth’s sisters story really pulls at the heart strings!🫶🏼

ASL introduced to the BSC!

5 out of 5 Ballet Shoes 🩰 🩰

I can’t remember if this made me cry as a child but I sure got all choked up as an adult.

This was a great introduction to Jessi. It does a great job of showing her kind heart, her passion for dancing and her feelings about adjusting to a new town and fitting in with new friends (and some who are judgmental at first.)

I also liked the focus on Matt’s sister, Halie, and her struggle with being the sister of a boy who is deaf. The eagerness to protect him but also feeling resentment.

I got all choked up at the end at Jessi’s ballet 🩰 recital. I was reminded a bit of Mr. Holland’s Opus.

Bahni Turpin did a great narration. She had Jessi sound like a preteen and then the voices for the adults were distinctly different.

I love this introduction to Jessi.
