Hi :)
This book was also really good. Kudos to the author. It was very interesting and a completely new adventure for Kelly and company. Hope there's another book.

I think I was expecting this one to be a cross between Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Fear Street, but it fell flat for me. I found myself speed reading through the slow parts. This made it really quick to finish.

Picture the pinball playing guy from Monster House as a teenage girl whose expertise is not just monsters but babysitting too, throw in some more badass babysitters, some scared little kids and a lot of monsters and you get A Babysitter's Guide to Monster Hunting. This is one of the most fun Middle Grades that I have ever read. Most of it takes place in the space of 5 hours. So much adventure! I also loved that the children get braver too. LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!

This series is so cute. I just love it to bits. In this one we kind a lost object, meet a friendly monster and babysit an actual baby. So much fun!

This is a 3.75 really. I liked it but not as much as the first too. Mostly I didn't like the stuff where the adults kept telling the babysitters they were useless and too young to do the things they were doing. It kind of spoiled the idea of the series. Disappointing but it had some really good moments.

Joe Ballarini this series is awesome!

No matter what age you are. I highly recommend this book. It's Goosebumps meets babysitters club mash up! So spooky and scary and facing your fears and protecting the world all at the same time.

I was all playing this in my head like a movie. I was so transfixed in this book. I felt like I was fighting along with them. Lol. The sketches in the book are truly wonderful. Before I even seen the image the descriptions of the monsters were so good.


The characters crack me up. Especially Kelly. She holds a special place in my heart. We all need alittle bit of Kelly in our hearts

Splendid this series was! I really enjoyed it.
Saving the world once again and also getting to try to pass your classes.
Kelly doing what is right and standing up to bullies and nay-sayers. No matter what the cost.
Kelly and her crew band together and get things done. One thing at a time. But no matter what they go through, they stick together. That is what baby-sitters do and what friends do. Have each other backs.

I recommend to anyone. Really delightful.

Wait!! What are those things? Victor said, " Check the Guide!" Kelly replied ;]

Very Buffy. With maybe a little Susan Sto Helit from Hogfather. In other words, highly enjoyable.
