Mallory Pike has decided she wants to join the BSC. But the BSC gives her hard tests, and questions that probably no one in their grade could answer! But then Mallory meets Jessi Ramsey and they become fast friends. Jessi has LONG legs so she dances well in Ballet. Jessi hasn't been treated well because she is black, which is VERY unfair. Jessi and Mallory decide to start their own baby-sitting club. Read the rest to find out!
This book's moral is to treat others well and fairly, or their feelings will be hurt.

I just read this book and I think it's good. It shows that the babysitters club is also mean and worried. In this book Mallory gets a best friend which can happen in bad times. It also tells how even now people still hate blacks because they're different. It isn't one of her best books but I think with all the truth in it it deserves 5 stars because her best books should get more than that. Jessi is also just like Mallory and that is what there needs to be in a best friend but they can also be very different like Mary Anne and Kristy. Another reason this book is so true. With the true facts of life along with humor in all sorts of form this book deserves 5 stars.

Mallory pike has always wanted to be a member of the BSC. First, they test her with a test they don't know. Second, Claudia makes Mallory feel like a baby on her first baby sitting job. So Mallory and Jessi got irritated and they started their own club called "Kids Incorporated".

This book was very good book, specially for the readers of The Baby-Sitters Club series. This book can tell what does other people think about them. This is too about friendship and starting something. Mallory doesn't have friends, but when the new girl comes to her class, she gets one! Mallory and Jessica Ramsey (new girl) are best friends. They both have problems. "Why don't they let me join to the BSC" is Mallory's problem. Jessica is worried because she's black. She is afraid to go to the ballet lessons. This book can throw you to the real world of 4th Graders!

Poor Mallory is excited to join the Babysitters Club but doesn't expect them to give her such impossible tests and initiations...

In Hello, Mallory, the baby-sitters invite Mallory to com to one of their meetings. Mallory comes and the bavy-sitters make her go with Claudia to baby-sit for the Perkinses. Everything goes wrong! Than they make Mallory take a dumb test and Mallory refuses to take anymore tests and to not join the baby-sitters club. Mallory meets a black girl, Jessi, and together they start their own baby-sitting buisness. They only get two calls. Than Kristy, Claudia, Dawn, and Mary Anne invite Jessi and Mal to be in the club. First they have to go on a sitting job with one of the girls. {It doesn't tell you about the sitting job, but they get in the club in #15.}

it was a good book.she babysitted for ALL of her brothers and sisters cause nicky broke his finger.Then,all the babysitters act like she is some irrisponsible sitter just cause she shouldve been watching nicky and they say she COULD'VE prevented it.They decide to make up a test for her and THEY have to look up the answers.Will mal pass the test??YOU'LL JUST HAVE TO READ THE BOOK!:)

Okay... So the BSC wants Mal to join. But they give her a test on her knowledge-and THEY had to look up the answers. Now, if only people who know that are good enough for the BSC, then they shouldn't be in the club!

It was SO unlike them to be so mean, especially Mary Anne, who's usually so sensitive!

And when Mal told them that Nicky'd broken his finger, Kristy acted like she thought Mal was phychic!

'That accident shouldn't of happened. You were in charge of Nicky. You should've been watching him.'

I'll tell you how Nicky broke his finger! He was playing volleyball with a friend of his. His brothers had JUST come home. They had weird hairdos. His friend saw them and stared. Nicky threw the ball(I don't play volleyball. Maye that's not what you do. Throw it, I mean), and his friend JUST managed to send it back. Nicky didn't think his friend would be able to send it back, and he just caught sight of his brothers besides. So the ball hit and broke his finger.

I'd like to see what KRISTY would've done in that situation.

Oh, yeah, I WOULD've rated it five, except the BSC members drove me CRAZY so much!

I thought Hello Mallory showed a lot more than just happy feelings. It showed prejudice, against both Jessi, because she was black, and Mallory, because she was younger and had "less experience" than the other members of the BSC. It will remain one of my fave BSC books.
