In addition
to playing the French Horn and wanting to be a musician, Gabby Duran is a world-class
babysitter. She can calm any reckless child, even triplets. Known for her
skills, she has helped out movie stars as well as neighbors. When A.L.I.E.N.
(Association Linking Intergalactics and Earthlings as Neighbors) catches wind
of her skills, they enlist her help to protect a young, rambunctious, shape-shifting
alien, known as an Unsittable. The situation
is a little inconvenient, however, because she is also trying to audition for
the solo part in her school’s band. With a bounty on her and her charge’s
heads and undercover agents for the G.E.T.O.U.T. (Group Eradicating Totally
Objectionable Uninvited Trespassers) hot on her trail, can Gabby keep the
Unsittable safe? Will she make the solo part and keep her friends or lose
everything?
The characters in this book are fun and engaging. The plot
is humorous, accessible, and entertaining. Reluctant and avid readers will
enjoy following the crazy babysitting adventures of Gabby. Recommended for most
library collections. EL. MS. ADVISABLE. Reviewer: Jessica Moody, Library Media
