Jessi knows a secret language! She learned it from Matt Braddock, the Baby--sitters' newest charge. Matt's been deaf since birth, and he uses sign language to speak. Since Jessi's Matt's baby-sitter, she has to use sign language, too. Soon all the kids in Stonybrook want to learn to sign...which keeps the Baby-sitters busy.

Of coarse she will-she's a member of the Baby-sitters Club!
