Title: The Babysitters Coven
Description: Random House LCC US 2019 Paperback. Esme Pearl is a nonconformist and suburban Kansas teenager who heads a babysitting club to avoid the prospect of obtaining a paid job, which she finds 'gross', and also to earn money to pay back a variety of people for various incidents, including the destruction of a tree. Esme's mother, who lives in a long-term care facility, is mentally ill. This leads to concern that Esme herself might suffer from the same issues when strange occurrences happen around her, such as a drink spilling on a 'chauvinist' in the school cafeteria and a bully being harmed in gym class. Esme is surprised when Cassandra Heaven, who is physically attractive, a rebel and a grungy dresser, shows interest in joining the club. While Esme's best friend is Janis, an awkward girl who owns a pit bull, Cassandra is much more sure of herself and confident, and Esme soon discovers that the newcomer is involved with aspects of the supernatural, having received a note telling her to seek out the babysitting club for help. Brian, the school's football coach, reveals to the girls that a dark, demonic force is threatening innocent people in Esme's town, and with white magic, the girls hope to stop it before anybody is harmed.
