Baby-sitters' Haunted House by Ann M. Martin

4.0

Oh my Goooooooood, this was so good! I’ve read a couple of Babysitters Club books in recent years but I’d kinda given up on re-reading them as an adult because they’re proper children’s books and I just really hate Mallory who is always hanging around. This one was kinda crazy though and has rekindled my love for the series. Kristy’s step-dad’s ex-wife’s friend hires 4 members of the club to babysit 5 children for a 2 week trip to Maine. Shrug. Kristy uses this time to practice reverse psychology on the local pre-teens. Mary-Anne is there to bore everyone as far as I can tell. Claudia is everyone’s fave always and she gets a 19 year-old boyfriend who she is afraid of - great! Dawn is also there, hiding at the bottom of an elevator shaft. There is a Scooby-Doo style mystery and it teases some kind of recent Stacey-related drama because no-one is talking to her and she’s been sacked from the club. I’m going to investigate further.
