Who was missing since Monday?
When you first look at the cover of the book "Missing Since Monday," by Ann Matthews Martin, you can see right off that the book is going to be some kind of mystery book from just looking at the title. Threw the book there will be a lot of mysteries. When you start reading this book you can't put it down until you have read everything.

Maggie's father had been divorced with her mother since Maggie and her little sister and her older brother since they were about 6 or 7 years old. Along the years Maggie's father had has gotten married. They don't get out that much because they have to always look after Maggie's little sister all the time. Maggie's parents have there Honeymoon coming up. Maggie's little sister is about 6 years old. Maggie's step mom is her little sister's real mom.

Maggie's parents are thinking that they might not go because Maggie is not that responsible enough to take care of her sister all alone. Maggie's parents leave to go to there honeymoon because Maggie convinced then that she is responsible enough to take care of her sister.

When Maggie takes her sister to the park she notices that there is someone following them around and watching there every move. So that day Maggie got so scared that she went throw this hole thing with her sister about what to do when somebody is trying to get you in there car or just safety tips when something is happening to you.

One day her sister flooded the kitchen. So Maggie had to clean it up. She told her sister to just get her self ready to go to school. Her sister got ready went when to the bus. That day her sister never came back from school. Maggie thought that her sister might of just have gone to her friend's house. So Maggie called some of her little sister's friend's houses but none of then said she was over there.

She never came home. Maggie called her sisters bus driver but she said that she never got on the bus after school. That's when Maggie got really scared. But Maggie didn't want to tell her parents because she wanted them to have a good time and not have to come back.

Maggie is stumped and she can't find out what happened to her sister. She doesn't know what to do or who to turn to. That is my summary of "Missing Since Monday," by Ann Matthew Martin.

A mystery that is filled with suspence and scares.
Maggie and her brother are in charge of their half sister whileMaggie and her brother's dad and step mother go on a long delayedhoneymoon. The first couple days at home by themselves are fine until Maggie puts Courtie, her half sister, on the bus that takes her to school. When Maggie gets home, her sister isn't there and when she calls the school, they say that she wasn't even in school. Calling the police and coming up with a lists of suspects, then questioning each one is hard for Maggie to do but she does it. Then one night, Maggie's mother calls. She tells Maggie and her brother to meet her at a resurant a couple days later and says she has a present for them. Is this present something that they want but don't want to get from her. I know I probably gave you too much information but I think you should read this book because it is really good. :) Thanx for reading my review.

REALLY GOOD!!!
Baby-sitters' Christmas Chiller was a really good book. It's only the second BSC mystery I've read, but I like the other series. I only like Nancy Drew Mysteries usually, but I think this one was pretty good. It wasn't scary but kept you on the edge of your seat. READ THIS! I highly recommend it.

I love this book, Baby-Sitters' Christmas Chiller.
Super Mystery number four, Baby-Sitters' Christmas Chiller is a wonderfu book. If you like the BSC books by Ann M. Martin and you love mysteries, you have to read this book. It's about when crime wave works its way through Stoneybrook. People are being robbed at Abby, Kristy, and Shannon's neighborhood leaving nonsense clues behind. And New York is just as scary for Claudia Kishi and Stacey McGill who are visiting Stacey's father. They feel that they're being followed and Stacey's boyfriend, Ethan, is acting extremely weird. Then, all kinds of unfriendly, rather threatening, 'gifts' are left at the McGills door. Scary actions are also working its way around Claudia and Stacey during their visit. Mallory helps a pregnant woman who lost her memory. The baby-sitters aren't sure if they can solve these mysteries, but one things is for sure -- this is a Christmas that they will never, ever forget.

The greatest Super Mystery!
After being a Baby-Sitters Club fan for over three years, I was pretty happy to see how great Baby- Sitters Christmas Chiller was. A burglar's loose in the neighborhood, Mallory, a girl in the club, stumbles across a pregnant woman with amnesia, a major blizzard is about to hit Stoneybrook. Will the BSC catch the thief and manage to get everything under control? Read the book and find out.

A Great Book
I thought this book was about the best super special ever. The Baby-sitters go to camp Mohawk. The Baby-Sitters go as Cits and Jessi and Mallory go as Junior Cits. All the baby-sitters (except Mall and Jessi) end up making new friends because there in different cabins.The other Cits Mary Anne meets don't believe she has a boyfriend so she sneaks around the lake to the boys side to deliver a letter to Logan. Dawn gets lost while overnight camping trip with her cabin. The other Cits in Krist's cabin cabin decide she needs a makeover.Stacey gets poison Ivy and has to spend most of her trip in the infirmary. Claudia meets the boy of her dreams. Mallory and Jessi have to put together a play for the parents on the last day of camp.None of the girls can wait for the CIT dance. Does Stacet have Lyme disease,will Claudia meet the boy of her dreams,will Logan dump mmmary Anne, will Dawn find her way back,will Jessi and Mallory have the play ready for the parents,will Kristy refuse to go to the dance and will the Baby-sitters ever hear from there new friend again after camp. Read the book,I know you will absolutely LOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEEEE it.

A great super special!
This book is really good. It showed all the problems and hardships people have when they're away from home. So this book had a lot of action to it, was fun, and had a lot of humor. Good job you're doing, Ms.Martin, and keep up the good work!

This summer, the Baby-sitters and a whole bunch of the kids they sit for are goingg to Camp Mohawk! With the girls as counselors-in-training, and the kids as campers, it'll be just like baby-sitting-in the woods!

The Baby-Sitters soon discover that camp isn't just nature walks and making lanyards. Dawn gets lost in the wilderness overnight. kristy learns how to use mascara, and Mary Anne gets caught sneaking over to the boys' side of the camp. Stacey spends the two weeks with poison ivy... and Claudia falls in love with a boy CIT.

This is one summer vacation the Baby-sitters will never forget!

Summertime!
I liked this book. Kristy should have told the campers to leave her alone about makeup. Claudia likes a boy named Will, Mary Anne's campers try to perice her ears(Gross), Stacey gets poisen ivy, Dawn gets lost in the woods, and Jessi and Mallory can't do anything right. There's even two chapters about... Logan! Neat!

An adult's look at a children's book.
The Babysitter's Club is off on an vacation they'll never forget. From their cruise through the Bahamas, to their stay at Disney World, adventures run wild. Will Claudia's secret admirer reveal himself? Will Kristy make a pest of herself the whole time? The first of many great super specials about the Baby Sitter's Club

A great super special!
This was a really great super special, considering this was the first one. A great job you're doing, Ms. Martin, and keep up the good work!

Kristy, Mary Anne, Claudia, Stacey, and Dawn are the luckiest baby-sitters in the world. This summer they're going on the greatest trip ever: a plane ride to Florida, a boat trip around the Bahamas, and then three days of fun--in Disney World!

Of course they have a million adventures. Claudia gets notes from a mysterious "Secret Admirer." Kristy, Mary Anne, and Stacey make some unusual new friends. Dawn has her first real romance. And they still have time for what they like best of all--baby-sitting!

A COOOOOL Book!!!!!!!!!!
I loved this book especially the Disney World bits. Disney World is cool I should know!

When Baby Sitting clients The Pikes win a cruise and Holiday they invite Stacey and Mary-Anne along as 'Mothers Helpers' as they do at Sea City. Then Kristy Step-Dad Watson orginizes a trip for Kristy and the family AND invites Claudia and Dawn along as guests. Well of course they have lots of adventures. Dawn falls for a boy called Parker, Kristy finds her Nannie a Boy Friend, Mary-Anne meets a Little Liar, Claudia meets a cute guy called Timothy and Stacey makes friends with a boy called Marc who is suffering a heart disease. AND Byron Pike finds treasure and Karen Brewer gets a MANICURE! They have a ton of fun in Disney World especially when Karen meets a 'hitchhiking' Ghost. And they still have time for BABY SITTING! But can they think of a gift to thank the Pikes and Brewers? Of course they can.... their the Baby Sitters Club!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Exciting and full of Adventure!
I think everyone should read this book!In it,Dawn descovers a trapdoor that leads to her own bedroom.Dawn knew her house was old, but not this old! She also thinks that the ghost of crazy old Jerod Mulray is haunting her house.I think this book is the best Babysitters Club book!

Spooky
This is a great BSC book. Dawn actually has one of her ghost stories come true in her own house! I loved the suspense it built and the way the story was told. This is a great book and I love it!

I love this book! You should read it!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love this book! You will love it to if you like Scary Stories that involve haunted houses and ghosts. Dawn thinks that her house is haunted. Because she hears really weird noises in her room at night.I love this book because Ann m. Martin really makes the story real.It was like I was Dawn hearing the noises and searching for the thing that made them. I really love this book and I hope that you will to if you read.... The Ghost at Dawn's House. By Ann M. Martin

Hm...
I am not as excited about this book as I was others. This one was okay, it just didn't have that special I-am-a-writer-you-can't-copy-my-style touch if you know what I mean. It was like a totally different writer wrote the book, you know? If u don't u can check it out at your library for yourself-but beware! I would rather you read it before you buy it. You might be disappointed a little bit. I was.

A Great Book!!!!
Baby Sitters Beware is a great book! It has a lot of action. Buy it and you will thank me.

I think this is a really great book for intermedites
In this book, the BSC takes a vacation to get away from the threating things that are happenning in Stoneybrook. I think this is a great book because Ann M. Martin is a compromise writer. She writes books for all of the kids ages 9-11, a group that is too young to read young adult liturature, but too old to read childrens' books

Stacey's Emergancy Review
Stacey is a diabetic and craves for chocolate and sweets- to be able to eat the way normal people can. She is visiting her Dad in New York when her thoughts force her to eat a Mars Bar. Tasting how good this is she decides to eat more and more sweets, which puts her in hospital. Eventually Stacey gets out of hospital and vows never to do it again.

STACEY ROCKS!
I like the Stacey character. She's bright, attractive and she is coping with a life threatening illness. She has been very soldierly about her diabetes and the Stacey books have been helpful in explaining and taking stigma out of the condition.

Stacey understandably wants to eat like a non-diabetic. She craves sweets, and this unfortunately throws her insulin off the charts. She helps her favorite charge Charlotte and Charlotte's friend Becca bake brownies and is overcome with temptation. She sneaks the brownies and this aggravates the down cycle her diabetes has taken.

Stacey's father invites her to spend a weekend in Manhattan. Tired and sick, Stacey reluctantly agrees. To add to her stress level, her father makes pointed comments about her mother and grills her about her mother's social life. Stacey in turn has to go through a similar interrogation from her mother when she returns from a visit to Manhattan. Her divorced parents fight over her and Stacey handles this maturely.

Once in Manhattan, Stacey is so ill that she is almost immediately admitted to a hospital. Her BSC friends from CT visit and the one time Stacey convinced both parents to visit her together ends up a major disaster. The parents scream at each other until Stacey finally tells them to leave.

After a seemingly long recovery period, Stacey is discharged. Once back in safe Stoneybrook, she tells her mother that she will no longer be "the monkey in the middle" by delivering nasty messages from one parent to the other. She points out the unfairness and cruelty in this and to the mother's credit, she supports Stacey and recognizes the mature way Stacey approached this. Stacey then calls her father with her stand. She has stood her ground and she has succeeded.

Stacey is here to stay.

AWESOME!!!!!!
Stacey's in real big trouble.She's a diabetic and latley she's been eating too much sweet's.When she goes to New York she suddenly lands in the hospital.Her friends are so worried.What's wrong with Stacey? If you are a fan of the BSC,READ THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!

She is like an arvage 13 year old, but worse!
I really liked this book because for me it was like reading about my life only it was worse. While her and her twin sister are preparing for their Jewish entro into adult life Abby gets suspended for cheating on her math test!

Jewish Coming of Age for Abby
I am preparing for my Bat Mitzvah and I found this book extremely informative and comforting. In my opinion,more books should be written about religion for children.

This is my favorite Abby book!It wins my competition!
Abby is preparing for her Baht Mitzvah and suddenly wham! Shes suspended.I think this shows Ann M. Martins hidden sucess.Two thumbs up and a golden star for Abby Stevenson!And 35 oskars and 34 grammys,cause Anna has that violin-talent Siskel and Ebert have been searchin for.Abby isnt musicly talented,but hey,Im not the grammy awarder. Personely,I sing better than I play instruments.I know as a BSC fan that Abbys Lucky Thirteen is a blast to read! -Anna Hyclac

Lou McNally = Perfect Child?
I just love it when writers bring back characters from previous books in a series! In BSC #116, Ann M. Martin Brings back Lou Mcnally from Kristy and the worst kid ever, where the Papdikases, loyal BSC clients, take in a foster child, Louisa McNally, better known as Lou. Lou feels as though everyone has left her. Her mother left when she was little, then her father died, her dog died, and they took her brother to another foster family. Lou is just horrible, never obeying, being mean to the animals. When Lou comes back in #116, Abby is Lou's new baby sitter. Lou is trying as hard as she can to be perfect so her Aunt and Uncle will keep her. In the end...well, I won't spoil it for U if you haven't read it!

A wonderful book
This book is one of the better BSC books. I was really happy when I found out that Lou was coming back. She was really diffrent though from way back in #62 Kristy and the Worst Kid Ever. Abby was a good person to sit for her. The book was really funny too.

A Baby-Sitters Club crack-up!
Back in Kristy and the Worst Kid Ever, Baby Sitters Number 62, Louisa, the foster child that Kristy's neighbor adopted, was the most rowdy and risk-taking girl ever known! She never wore her clothes without stains, and flat-out refused to answer to anyone who didn't call her Lou. Now, in Abby and the Best Kid Ever, Lou is back and the whole BSC is shocked-Lou? Call her Louisa! The girl now wears dresses and is pretty, proper, and neat. Abby and the BSC just can't believe it. Can they get back part of the old Lou? Find out!

It's a great book!
I like the books about Claudia best. She is the most interesting of the babysitters. In this book, Claudia meets this new girl, Ashley, who has gone to a very proffesional artschool, at the place she lived before. She encourages Claudia to keep on painting, since Claudia loves art, but to quit babysitting. Claudia is always late for the BSC meetings, and her friends are getting pretty tired of it...

This book was okay.
I rate "Claudia and the New Girl" a 9 because the plot was okay. Claudia met that new girl, Ashley Wyeth, and started neglecting her friends Stacey, Mary Anne, Kristy, and Dawn. I can't blame them for getting mad at her. I would've too, if one of my friends was neglecting me.

Claudia`s true best friend`s are the members of the B.S.C.
That`s what Claudia finds out.Ashley Wyeth is the new girl in her school and Ashley likes art as much as Claudia,maybe a little more.Claudia grows to become best friends with Ashley.This reallt hurts Stacey and the B.S.C. beacuse she misses meetings and the menbers are putting mean notes all around her room and eating ALL of her junk food.Even Dawn is helping eat it.This book is good.It`s shows you who your true friends are
