      Synopsis

      I'm Darcy Stevens. A baby-sitter for the Foster children. Now, I've taken care of bratty kids before, but never three all at once. These kids are really something. I was reading to the two girls and Jeremy snuck into the den to call his Uncle Rick who lives in Hawaii! Later the baby covered herself with her mother's expensive makeup!

      But that's not the half of it. After I interviewed for the job, my brother drove me home and I saw a black car following us. Then on my first day, this stranger came to the door and said he was from the gas company and had to get in for an emergency. I asked to see his ID and instead of showing me, he just left.

      I could never have predicted what would happen next....

      Annotation

      A baby sitter and her three willful charges make a formidable team to outwit their surprised kidnappers.

      Publishers Weekly

      An ordinary sitting job turns into a nightmare for 13-year-old Darcy when kidnappers invade the house and carry off the children; PW found this a mystery characterized by "electrifying suspense." Ages 8-12. (Feb.)

      October 06, 2008: Darcy really needs a job. She had already gone to five different interviews and nobody liked her. So when she saw a rich house she tought they would pay her good so she decided to ask if they needed someone to baby-sitt. When finally someone said yes she met the kids and totally knew that it was going to be a nightmare!
