Why I Quit the Baby-Sitters Club (Haynes, Betsy. Bone Chillers, No. 17.)

In Why I Quit the Baby-Sitter's Club, Rosie, a reluctant young sitter, agrees to sit for some creepy new neighbors. But unbelievably high wages and an endless supply of goodies aren't pay enough for what she finds when she starts snooping behind closed doors.

Overflowing with buckets of gore and more than a little vomitus, Bone Chillers aren't for the squeamish. But there's a moral hidden in this madness and, in the end, the good guys usually come out on top--even if they are covered in some kind of slime. --George Laney
