Mother's Day is coming up, and The Baby-sitters Club has the same problem they do every year: What should they get their mothers? Kristy especially wants to do something nice for her mum. Mrs. Brewer has been acting kind of strange and secretive lately, and Kristy is worried about her.

But then Kristy gets another one of her great ideas. Why don't she and her friends treat their mums—and the mothers of the children they baby-sit for—to a day off without any kids around? The BSC plans a gigantic baby-sitting party. It's a Mother's Day surprise that can't be beat... until Kristy’s mum reveals a very special surprise of her own.

Kristy and the Mother's Day Surprise: A Graphic Novel (The Baby-Sitters Club #20) by Ann Martin offers an engaging story with heartfelt surprises and delightful twists sure to captivate readers.
