Beware the Babysitter - Francine Pascal (Sweet Valley High, Bk 99)

I'm going back and re-reading a lot of books from when I was younger. This is one I remember kind of enjoying, but not getting into hard, it never made my heart beat faster. Seems the same is still true today. There's a lot of fluff, and pointless banter in this book while the actual story is being set up. It's like the first book with all the boring crap has continued for 4 books by this point. Pascal was never my favorite author, but I can certainly see the appeal for early teen girls (and pre-teens) based on the subject matter.  As an aspiring author, however, I cannot fathom taking the time to WRITE this drivel!
