The News Broken Part 1
One fine summer Monday morning just before the new school year in Willow Creek Virginia, Lisa Atwood met her best friends in the Saddle Club outside of Pine Hollow just before their riding lesson.
"So, Lisa," Stevie Lake asked. "what's the news that you wanted to share with us?"
"Well, my big brother, Peter is coming home from college in England for a visit with my dad, stepmother, and baby half sister, Lily," Lisa explained to Stevie and her other best friend, Carole Hanson. "and he, Melanie, and I are all going to help my father move from Willow Brook Virginia all the way to Stoneybrook Connecticut where I will be attending Stoneybrook Middle School while Melanie will be attending Stoneybrook Academy while we visit our father."
"So, that means that you & Melanie won't be home schooled at your father's anymore!" Carole exclaimed.
"That's right," Lisa said to Carole. "and I'll meet my pen pal, Stacey McGill there as well."
"You are so lucky, Lisa," Stevie exclaimed. "I wish I was moving to Stoneybrook too so that I could meet my pen pal, Kristy Thomas!"
"And, so I could meet my pen pal, Jessica Ramsey!" Carole agreed.
"A few weeks away from Loser Lisa," someone from behind the Saddle Club said. "now this is going to be sweet!"
Stevie, Carole, and Lisa turned to see Veronica DiAngelo standing right behind them.
Over in Stoneybrook at the Kishi residence, the seven members of the Baby Sitters Club were just beginning their meeting.
