Katie's Baby-Sitting Job
language
(Speaking Volumes March 21, 2019)
It’s not easy being a baby-sitter when you’re playing detective, too!
Katie thought baby-sitting would be fun!
Katie was thrilled when Mrs. Stellan called and asked her to baby-sit for the evening. She had never done any baby-sitting before, but she was sure she could take care of three-year-old Annie. After all, Katie had watched her brother plenty of times. This would give her some real job experience—and she'd be paid for it, too!
But Katie's first baby-sitting job doesn't turn out the way she'd planned. Something is missing from the Stellans' house, and though it wasn't her fault, Katie's sure everybody's blaming her.
It's bad enough that hardly anyone believes her—but now mean Michelle is telling everyone at school what happened. Katie knows she's got to get to the bottom of the mystery soon. Because if she doesn't, she may never be hired as a baby-sitter again!
"...the clues are well placed, the pace is lively, and the characters nicely realized. Tolles also integrates a warm boy-girl relationship for added appeal." —Booklist
