It's the coolest school trip ever: a week in Hawaii! Almost all of the BSC members are going, including Logan.

Some of their adventures get pretty wild, too: Abby acts in a commercial; Dawn rescues a wrecked beach; and Stacy takes a dangerous helicopter ride she'll never forget. If only the Baby-sitters could stay in Hawaii! Too bad aloha means hello ... and good-bye.

Her grandmother, Dana, and her great-grandmother, Abby, don't speak to each other. And Georgia's great-great-grandmother also had some secrets that nobody else knows about.
