Excellent End to a 4-Book Series
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This is the 4th book of a 4-book series. Even though each book can stand alone, it is more fun and interesting if you read them all, in order. In the first 3 books, Jenny had tramatic experiences in the babysitting department. In this 4th and last book, the new next-door neighbor asks Jenny to watch her kids. Should Jenny totally give up babysitting? Strange things happen next door. Is Jenny crazy, or are these things really happening? The ending of this book is fun and satisfying. I re-read these 4 books after 10 years or so of reading them the first time, because they were so good. I think they were even better the second time around! (If that's possible.) They have been a fun and enjoyable adventure and escape. I think these 4 babysitting books are the best books that R.L. Stine wrote (that I've read, and I have not read them all). I think I'm done with R.L. Stine for a while, and I am going back to reading adult books. I highly recommend the 4 babysitting books to all teens and only die-hard fun-loving adults.
YOU WILL BE SHOCKED!!!

Unlike the first three books of this series, this one has new characters and new horror. Mr. Hagen is history in this book. The first three novels of The Babysitter were good but it got boring when the same old Mr. Hagen keeps calling and stalking Jenny. But in this one, (part 4) Jenny has different problems. She babysits a next door neighbor's two twin boys and daughter. Neither of them are older than eight. With those three kids, Jenny is having creepy experiences again. She doesnt know who is responsible, but when you get to the ending, you will just totally faint with shock and horror. It totally got my head spinning. R.L. Stine proved how good of a writer he is with this book and I definitely reccomend this book to any age people who like utterly creepy novels with shocking conclusions!!! Read it today!!! I am 15 years old and after reading this I am sure that I'll be reading Stine books forever.
Has Jenny Gone Crazy?
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Jenny has gone to a hospital (for like crazy people) for a year. She was away from her normal life. Away from her friends. Now she's out of the hospital. Jenny's no longer afraid of Mr. Hagen coming back. Jenny and her mom moved to a new neighborhood. The woman next door wants her to baby-sit for her children. Jenny thinks she can handle it easily, so she baby-sits, but when she puts the kids to bed she hears noises and voices. At night she sees a little blond boy running in the back yard. She sees a sad girl. She hears animals howl. Is Jenny seeing things for sure, or is she just imagining it? You should read this book. It's a very cool book full of horror. It is totally different from "The Baby-Sitter", "The Baby-Sitter 2", and "The Baby-Sitter 3", but you'll like it.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

"The Babysitter IV" is the last book of the 4-book series. I was sad that I was finished with them, but they left me very satisfied. Each book was different and unique, but this one was even more different, which was good, because it was good to have something with a different twist. Anyone can enjoy this 4-book series, whether you're a pre-teen or 90 years old or anywhere in between - everybody deserves some fun some time or another. I enjoyed each and every one of these 4 books. As with the other 3 books, this book will keep you on the edge and your mind reeling.....
It is a very good book.

I read the Babysitter 3 first but the 4th is the best. Stine is an incredible author. It has to be hard to think up so many scary ideas for every book and never repeat
