Taking Care of Trouble

In this funny, fast-paced middle-grade novel, fifth-grader Joel wants nothing to do with babies. He's the only kid in Junior Adventurers who hasn't passed Emergency Preparedness, and the last thing he needs is a real-life crisis that will mess up his chances. But when his best friend's pretty older sister begs him to help her by taking care of a toddler named Tucker(aka Trouble), he can't say no. And, boy, is he sorry. During his hair-raising-and hilarious-adventure in baby-sitting, Joelbattles putrid diapers, an escaped cockatoo, and a best friend obsessed with capturing footage for World's Funniest Videos. After all this, passing a silly old emergency test looks like a walk in the park.Graves, Bonnie is the author of 'Taking Care of Trouble', published 2002 under ISBN 9780525468301 and ISBN 0525468307.
