The Babysitter III

The Babysitter III by R.L. Stine "Babes, I'm back babes, and company is coming." Jenny's cousin is getting these frightening calls. Jenny still believes the man who tried to kill her is alive, coming back for her. At the same time, her cousin Debra gets these horrifying calls, while Jenny is having horrifying nightmares. Debra says it's all a big joke but Jenny on the other hand says it's no joke. Everyone is surprised with what "Mr. Hagen" does. Jenny's nightmares keep growing worse. Mr. Hagen always used a dry, crackling voice when he called and that's what Debra's been hearing on the phone calls. R.L. Stine's blood thirsty books are always a scare, especially his three books of The Babysitter. So babysitting is an easy job, right? Let's read the book and find out, but watch out because on Shadyside's haunted Fear Street babysitting can be a deadly job. R.L. Stine's books are killer. Literally! Read this book if you dare!

A Great Read

I thought the Babysitter 3 was a great book. It only took me 2 days to read. I love suspense and this book definitly falls into that catagory. It keeps you guessing until the very end.

A Wonderful Book that You Can't Put Down!

"The Babysitter III" is an awesome book. It continues on where the 1st and 2nd books left off. This book will keep your mind reeling! The author wrote this book in such a way that the reader will have no clue as to who or what..... You won't want to put this book down so that you can come to the end of it and find out who or what. There are 4 books in this series, read them in order, they all have a very satisfying ending. Even though the first one is awesome, it seems like they keep getting better! I recommend them. Enjoy!

Excellent, but DON'T read it at night!

My best friend Sarah and I were browsing around at our school book fair, when we came across a really exciting-looking book, The Babysitter 3. We quickly grabbed a copy each and read the synopsis on the back. We both thought it sounded extreamly exciting. I had £10 with me and I'd already bought Point Horror Collection 10 for £6.99 and seeing as though it was on the half price table, I quickly paid with the rest of my money. That evening, at home, I started to read it. It was so scary and exciting; I carried on reading late at night. When I finally did finish reading, I had to keep my lamp on for the rest of the night as I was too scared to switch it off! The book was about a girl called Jenny who had had a scary time babysitting for Mr Hagen. Jenny goes to stay with Debra, her cousin. But when Debra is out babysitting, she gets the same, weird phone calls that Jenny got. The story's ending is poor, a bit rushed and a bit lame, too. Still, I definately give it full marks!
