In this graphic-novel adaptation of the fifth entry in the Baby-sitters Club spin-off series, Karen is afraid she will make a fool of herself in front of her class and mean Ricky if she wears her new eyeglasses for her class picture.

When Karen shows off her roller-skating expertise and accidentally crashes into her brother, she ends up with a broken wrist but uses the opportunity to get everyone she knows to sign her new cast.

Karen has to get glasses! She doesn't want them, especially because school pictures are going to be taken soon. But she picks out some pretty pink ones and thinks she looks very grown-up. Then Yicky Ricky at school starts calling her names, like Owl Girl and Googly Eyes. If Karen wears her glasses for the school picture, Ricky will make fun of her. If she doesn't wear them, she'll feel like she's afraid to be herself. Glasses or no glasses, that...

When she and Nancy get into a big fight right before her first sleepover, Karen disinvites Nancy and has new girl Pamela come instead, but when she turns out to be a wet blanket, Karen wonders what to do next.

Deciding a new haircut will give her the boost she needs, Karen is devastated when the hairstylist cuts her hair all wrong and wonders if she will ever get back to feeling like her usual confident self.

Karen's best friend Hannie just got an adorable new kitten. Their neighbor Amanda has a cat, too, and Karen has grumpy old Boo-Boo. Now that they all have cats, Karen comes up with a great idea. She wants to start a Kittycat Club! What will the club do? Karen can't baby-sit like her big sister Kristy... but she can cat-sit! Will anyone want to hire Karen and her friends?
