    About this ebook

    Everyone’s favorite zany babysitter is back! This is the second book in actress Isla Fisher’s warmly embraced series, perfect for fans of Amelia Bedelia and Mrs. Piggle Wiggle. Features charming illustrations.

    Marge the babysitter might look like a very tiny elfin grandmother at first, but in these three hilarious stories, she’s letting down her rainbow hair and getting in a brand-new heap of trouble.

    Siblings Jemima and Jake Button are used to things being very sensible: their babysitters always follow the lists of rules from Mommy and Dad. But sometimes sensible isn’t very fun—and with Marge around, you’ve got to stay on your toes! Before you can say Kalamazoo!, there’s a pirate baby on the loose, lost treasure at the neighborhood pool, and chaos at a very important wedding.

    When Marge is in charge, you truly never know what will happen next!

      Marge in Charge and the Stolen Treasure - Isla Fisher

      Marge the Pirate Nanny

      Hello again—it’s me, Jemima Button. I’m back. I am so excited for today because Marge, our extraordinary babysitter, is coming over. We used to be an ordinary family until she came along. I know what you’re thinking—babysitters are boring—but you haven’t met Marge. Incredible things happen whenever Marge is around. Like the time she led our entire school in an outdoor concert with her head stuck in a tuba. Or the time she wanted to tie balloons to Jakey’s feet to see if he would float to school.

      Jakeypants is still my little brother, even though sometimes I wish he wasn’t. And he still loves wrestling and dinosaurs, but now he also loves pirates—a lot. At the moment, he’s sitting next to me on a blanket in the backyard, building a pirate ship out of Legos.

      The only bad part is that our cousin baby Zara will be here later.

      I am trying to keep my mind off that by drawing a self-portrait (which is a picture of myself) to show Marge. I am the second best drawer in my class after Emily Fox, who can draw fingers and toes perfectly.

      We haven’t seen Zara for a while (thank goodness), and apparently now she can crawl. When she was first born, she was a bald blob with eyelashes and she couldn’t do much at all. Mommy says that I looked exactly the same when I was small and that we could be sisters! But we are definitely not sisters because Zara is very naughty. No one believes Jakey and me when we say that even though Zara looks like an angel, she is definitely not one. I have written in my secret diary a list of all the bad things that she has done to me:

      DRAWING all over my library book

      SQUEEZING toothpaste into my doll house

      PULLING the head off my Beach Barbie

      Would you believe that I couldn’t find my Barbie’s head anywhere? Then the next time Dad turned on the oven, there was a horrible smell and out came a hairy, yellow alien.

      Still, I have lined up all my dollies in a row by the front door to welcome Zara today. Except for Sarah, my Cabbage Patch doll. I cut Sarah’s hair short and now she looks scary. I don’t want her to frighten my little cousin, because when Zara cries it’s so loud I have to put my fingers in my ears. Last time we saw her, Dad nicknamed her the ambulance because when she got upset she sounded like a siren:

      WAA-OOH, WAA-OOH!

      As if he can read my mind, Jakey suddenly announces, That bad baby is NOT allowed near my toys. Especially Pete.

      Pete is the stuffed toy dinosaur my brother has slept with every night since he was born. My little brother has two rules:

      Nobody is allowed to touch Pete, EVER.

      He won’t set foot in any sandbox because he’s scared of being stuck in quicksand.

      This morning he copied me and lined up Pete and two trucks to welcome Zara. Except he also built a barrier of books so she could look but not touch.

      Jakey is being nice, but he’ll never forgive Zara. When we met her for the first time, Mommy let him hold her. He was very gentle and even sang her a song . . . but then she vomited green stuff all over his new white shoes.

      YUCK.

      And then—would you believe it?—she laughed.

      But that’s not the only reason Jakey hasn’t forgiven Zara. Last time she came to our house, as soon as Mommy left the room, she unscrewed the lid of her sippy cup and tipped orange juice all over Jakey’s head. Then, while he was wiping his face, Zara pulled down his shorts!

      My aunt claimed it was an accident, but Jakey and I know it wasn’t.

      Who knows what trouble that baby will get into today now that she can crawl? At least we will have Marge to protect us.

      DING DONG

      Archie, our pug-nosed puppy, starts barking. I can hear Mommy’s heels click-clack on the wooden floor as she hurries to let Zara and Aunt Sally in.

      I get up from the blanket and peer through the French doors. There in the hallway is my aunt Sally with a pink baby carriage. Zara’s carriage. I can feel my heart start to beat a little faster.

      The back door swings open as Mommy and Sally push the carriage outside, chatting happily. Its big wheels are chopping through the grass. I spy one of Zara’s small chubby hands waving. There is no escape now.
