O. '10Melissa, Amanda, and Pee Wee Anderson find a whole
new way of looking at life when their Aunt Sally comes to baby-sit
them while their parents go to Paris. During her stay, Aunt Sally
teaches the children many different things, including how to like
string beans. Also, Aunt Sally fills their brains with many
interesting, and exciting stories that happened while she was growing
up. One of the stories she tells is about Maud, Aunt Sally's
elderly former next door neighbor, who shot eighty cougars. In this
story, Aunt Sally, her cousins, and her friends find out something
weird about Maud.
I really enjoyed this book, and I hope you will too.

| Reviewer: Tory R.'08 The PeeWees are getting ready for a fun week with their babysitter, but find
out that their usual sitter isn't feeling well. Their parents have to leave the next day
for Paris, and no one seems to be able to baby-sit! What are they going to do? Melissa,
Amanda, and their parents have no choice but to call Aunt Sally from Canada. She is more
than happy to be their babysitter. The children have never met her before, and are a
little nervous, but they find out that she is full of wonderful stories! The kids hear all
about Mrs. Gunderson, the dog next door, Fat Little Mean Girl, a tough little girl who
picks on Aunt Sally's sister, and, of course, the dreaded Trolls! The Trolls change Aunt
Sally's family and the three children. What will happen when Aunt Sally leaves? Will she
stay a little bit longer? What will happen when the children's father comes home and he
sees them horror struck? Read the book and find out!

| Reviewer: Rachel K.'07 The Trolls is about three kids: Pee-Wee, Amanda and
Melissa. Their parents go away to Paris for a week or two. They find out that their
babysitter is canceling babysitting for them because she is very sick. The parents call
their Aunt Sally to come and babysit. When she comes, she is nothing like what the
children expect. While she is babysitting, she tells the kids stories about their history.
You will like The Trolls if you like mysteries
and exciting stories.
