    About this ebook

    Whoa, baby!

    When a neighbor hires Nancy, Bess, and George to take care of her eighteen-month-old identical twins, the girls are happy to help. After all, the Clue Crew has stopped would-be thieves, uncovered scams, and recovered stolen objects -- how hard can watching a couple of babies be?

    But being a mother's helper is trickier than they thought, especially when the twins' toys start disappearing. Can the Clue Crew look after the babies and figure out who's taking the toys, or are they in too far over their heads this time?

      The Education of Mrs. R.

      Sep 6, 2022

      An adolescent shriek woke her. Cockerels, she thought, cockerels, with a wry twist to the word. She lay in the dark listening. There was no use in covering her head; the screaming still came through. The soloist was suddenly submerged in the chorus.

      The month after our mother died, our father began bringing women home. It felt like a behind-her-back kind of operation. “I’m going to have a guest over tonight,” is what he would say. David and I stayed out in the living room, turned up cartoons, bu

    Babysitting Bandit - Carolyn Keene

    A thief is on the loose!

    Cal, give the babies their rattle or we’re going to have to have a time-out! Mrs. Jacobs exclaimed.

    The chaos and confusion went on for a while, until finally, Mrs. Gregory put on the Happy Baby Songs CD, and the twins calmed down and started twirling in place. Cal dropped the silver rattle and started dancing too. Mrs. Jacobs picked up the rattle and put it back on the bookshelf, next to a row of encyclopedias.

    Nancy and her friends played with the twins for a little while longer. Just before five, the girls started picking up the twins’ toys.

    Nancy frowned as she returned Squeak Squeak to the book shelf. Where’s the silver rattle? she asked George. I thought I saw Mrs. Gregory put it here somewhere. Did you move it?

    George smiled at Anna Lin, then turned to Nancy and shook her head. I didn’t move it.

    I didn’t move it either, Bess piped up.
