"The Baby-Sitter Burglaries" - A Wonderful Thriller!

The Baby-Sitter BurglariesBy: Carolyn KeenReviewed By: S. BhuiyanP.3This book is a thrilling and exciting mystery! Nancy Drew, a detective, is helping her friend, Juanita, babysit for several kids. Suddenly, a mystery appears for Nancy to solve. Juanita and her boyfriend, David, are being accused for burglarizing three houses in River Estates. The police believe the culprit is Juanita because she babysits at all three of the robbed houses and her boyfriend is the one that installed the security system so it would be easy for them to brake into the houses. Knowing that Juanita is innocent, Nancy investigates and finds some clues that puzzles her. One of those clues is that the burglar is only taking toys, TV's, and coin collections; not valuable items such as jewelry. Nancy knows one thing - the key to this case is the security system that has failed at eachof the robbed houses.I liked this book because the plot was fantastic and the writing was very detailed. I also liked this book because I thought the ending was absolutely wonderful. In my opinion, this book was so good that when you start reading it, you never want to put it down until you finish it.I also liked this book because of the magnificent quotes. One of my favorite quotes in this book is: "Carlos-take my hand!" She then froze in horror as someone started to flip her body into the dumpster! This quote is found on page 93 of the book. Here is another one of my favorite quotes, found on page 96: "I hate to say this," Nancy whispered to George,"but Juanita did make sure we'd be bust tonight, what if she and David were planning to skip town?" These quotes are very important to the story. I liked the part of the book where an angry Doberman dog jumped on Nancy, bringing her to the ground. I also liked the part when Carlos, Juanita's little brother, tried to run away from Nancy by jumping on his bike and speeding away. I liked these parts because they represent a very interesting and important detail detail to the story. They turn the mystery around.
I'd read it again

I'd read it again because I already have read most of the Nancy Drew books I just started to read the books this year. I read the books in the order that they come in. What got me started reading the books was the kids in my school because everyone reads them. So one day, I checked one out from the school library and I couldn't put it down. So I just keep checking them out. And I think that this one is the best so far. So that is why I I'd read it again. Read to find out what happens.
An excellent book
