Every time Prince Horace(a.k.a Prince Brat) ties the noble's wigs to their chair, or makes the knights fall off their horses, or puts frogs into the moat, whipping boy Jemmy needs to endure lashes of a whip.Because of all this, Jemmy hates Prince Brat. When Prince Brat makes Jemmy run away with him, he accepts. Soon after, they are caught together by Hold-Your-Nose-Billy and his accomplice Cutwater. Jemmy and Prince Brat will need to trust and help each other if they want to stay alive. This was a great book because it was funny.

I am adopted so this book is close to home. It is great for anyone loving a good mystery. Claudia is going through some old photo albums.

And who are her real parents?

Working to get resources for her family, flirting with the soldiers to get home safe and sound.

I recommend this book to someone who is interested in mystery.

In this book by Ann M. Martin, Stacey is not that interested when she find out that an old house is getting torn down. After all, in New York City, where she is from, a LOT more exciting things happen. Plus, Stacey's favorite client to sit for, Charlotte, is going to be staying with Stacey and her mom while her parents are away. Charlotte is like her sister, so Stacey is excited. But, when she and Charlotte go to see the old house, some mysterious things happen. The baby sitters club is sure that there is something fishy going on, but they don't know how to prove it. Now they must stop whatever is going on, before it takes over Stoneybrook. With chilling discoveries and heart dropping clues, this is a great mystery book to read! Overall, this book is pretty good. I would say that it is a little bit scarier than the other baby-sitters club books, so I wouldn't recommend it for younger readers. If you liked this book, you should read The Baby Sitters Club Christmas Chiller. I hop you like this book! Happy Reading!

This book was great!! I loved how the story continues and how new characters were introduced. The mystery was great, and Gilly's adventure will continue for sure!! I can't wait to read the next one!!!!
