Baby-Sitting Is a Dangerous Job
Baby-Sitting Is a Dangerous Job | Willo Davis Roberts
2 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
A bestselling classic mystery about a baby-sitter who is kidnapped along with the three kids she is watching from three-time Edgar Award–winning author Willo Davis Roberts. “A solid adventure with more than a few spine-tingling moments” (Booklist). From the moment she set eyes on the three Foster kids, Darcy knew being their baby-sitter would be no picnic. But the pay was twice her usual rate, and the job was only for a few hours a day—surely an experienced baby-sitter like her could handle it. But Darcy hadn’t counted on the mysterious things that started happening at the Fosters’ home after she took the job. She did everything a good baby-sitter was supposed to do: she didn’t let the stranger claiming to be from the gas company into the house and she called the police when the burglar alarm went off in the middle of the afternoon. But that wasn’t enough to prevent a baby-sitter’s worst nightmare from coming true. Now it’s up to Darcy to rescue the Foster kids—and herself—from three ruthless kidnappers.

Revisited an old fave from my childhood this weekend! While I'm no longer in the target age range, I still enjoyed this nostalgic read.

FlowerFairy The Girl With The Silver Eyes by the same author was a favorite of mine as a child. I‘ll have to see if I can find this one. 1y
bunny @FlowerFairy I love The Girl With the Silver Eyes! This one isn't quite that good, but it's definitely fun 1y

Mehso-so

An okay children's thriller, but not sure it holds up for today's audience. It's very 80s and kind of trivializes child kidnapping.
