Four girls. One big idea. A whole lot of Friday-night adventures.
Nia Brooks is thirteen, newly a teenager, and ready for a little more independence-especially when it comes to having money of her own. So when her mom offers her the chance to earn eighty dollars babysitting, Nia starts thinking bigger than one Friday-night job.
With her best friends Zuri, Kayla, and Amara beside her, one simple idea turns into The Sitters Circle, a neighborhood babysitting business complete with their very own app.
It sounds perfect. Parents need sitters. The girls want to earn money. What could possibly go wrong?
Well...kids who refuse to go to bed, missing stuffed animals, messy houses, unexpected babysitting disasters, and four best friends discovering that running a business together isn't quite as easy as they imagined.
Between school, family, friendship, and their first real taste of independence, Nia and her friends are about to learn that The Sitters Circle is about much more than babysitting.
It's about growing up, making mistakes, believing in your ideas, and having your girls beside you while you figure it all out.
Welcome to Bellamy Hills. You're officially in the Circle.
The First Friday is Book One in The Sitters Circle, a warm and funny middle-grade series celebrating Black girlhood, friendship, family, entrepreneurship, and the unforgettable adventures that come with being thirteen.
