Stacey and the Haunted Masquerade is the 22nd book in The Baby-Sitters Club Mystery series.
Back Cover Summary[]
A Mischief Night Masquerade? Excellent! SMS hasn't had one in twenty-eight years. Stacey can't wait to get involved. She's the first to sign up for the decorating committee.
But right away, some decorations are destroyed. Then a poster is defaced with a threatening message. Does someone hate the theme Stacey suggested? Are the prank-pulling Mischief Knights at work? Or is there some connection with the last masquerade — which nobody wants to talk about?
If Stacey and the BSC don't figure out what's going on, this could be one very dangerous dance!
