Claudia has always been the most outrageous girl in her class...until Ashley Wyeth comes along. Ashey's really different - she dresses in hippie clothes, wears six earrings, and is the most fantastic artist Claudia has ever met. Ashey says Claudia has artistic talent, too. She thinks Claudia should spend more time on her "calling" and forget about the Baby-sitter's Club: It's just a waste of time. The Baby-sitters are sick of Ashley Wyeth, and they think Claudia's a traitor. Claudia's got to decide: either the Baby-sitter's Club or the new girl - one of them's got to know.
Fighting with her genius older sister, Claudia is furious when Janine criticizes the Baby-sitters Club and otherwise makes her feel inferior, but when Grandmother Mimi has a stroke, the sisters must bury the hatchet.

Wilful Behaviour
Mystery lovers everywhere are addicted to Donna Leon's ever-honorable Commissario Guido Brunetti and her portrayal of Venice's beautiful but sinister byways and canals. In Willful Behavior, Brunetti is approached for a favor by one of his wife's students. Intelligent and serious , Claudia Leonardo asks for his help in obtaining a pardon for a crime once committed by her now-dead grandfather. Brunetti thinks little of it-until Claudia is found dead. Soon, another corpse and an extraordinary art collection lead Brunetti to long-buried secrets of Nazi collaboration and the exploitation of Italian Jews-secrets few in Italy want revealed.
