I give this book 4/5. One reason is the sensitivity level. Ann Martin describes the children with very harsh details. However, some of them do help the reader get a peek at what is going on. Ann Martin also ended the book farely well. Except, I think that Claudia should have told her parents when the guy kept calling her and said, "Give me back my wife!" Other then that, this is a great book that explores a sensitive topic

This is a book in the baby sitters club series written by Ann M. Martin. In this book Claudia starts to notice some weird things while she is baby sitting two boys, Joey and Nathan. She thinks that Nathan and Joey's dad might be abusing them, but she isn't sure and doesn't want to step in where she doesn't belong. Read the book to find out what Claudia does. I gave this book 5 stars because it was really good and definitely one of the stronger baby sitters club books.
Yeah. I agree!
