Customer Reviews

Not what I thought it would be... better!

My dad got this book at a clearance, I thought it would not be that great. Then I read a couple of pages and I could not put It down. Its so intensifying, I just cant explain it!! Well actually I can :P There is a girl named Darcy and she is baby-sitting three bratty kids. One day the burglar alarm goes off, the police come and go, then she realizes (when she sees them) that they got into the house and were there the whole time! The burglars plan is to ransom the kids! Darcy and the three children begin to like each other and help each other get through. Will they escape or not? Hmmm...

The Best Book

This a very exciting book about a girl named Darcy Stevens.She gets hired to babysit some rich children "the Fosters",who she thinks will be a handful.But when some men in a black car keep following her everything changes.Like gas man coming to the Foster's house but Darcy can't see his ID.I think this book is a great mystery that keeps the suspense going.I think it was writen very well and I would suggest it to all book lovers.

I liked this book because everytime you turn around something exciting happens! The characters are fit for the book.I liked the main character, Darcy, because in the end she is very brave. This book has exciting, mischievious characters. The baby-sitter,Darcy Stevens, gets interviewed at this "high-quality" house. She gets the job and finds out that the children are pests! The second day as she was finishing making lunch ,when all of the sudden the burgular alarm went off!The police come and search, but there's no one around. The police leave and a few minutes later... If you want to know what happens you'll have to read on!So hurry up! It's to exciting to wait!

This is the best book I have ever read!

This book was wonderful. It was about a girl who was babysitting three braty kids. Then they all get kidnapped and the babysitter Darcy finds an ingenous way to escape! But you have to buy this wonderful book. Willo Davis Roberts is the best writer in the world. She's the best mystery writer that I've ever heard about.
