Nightmare Club 7: The Demon Babysitter
Dervla is the babysitter from hell – literally. She’s very strict, she eats spiders, and … are those horns? No wonder Becky is everybody’s hero when she manages to rid the neighbourhood of the demon babysitter.
Don’t ask how, but hey, pssst, there are vomit-coloured stink bombs, there is an abandoned shed, there is demon-food.
You have been warned.
Annie Graves is twelve years old, and she has no intention of ever growing up. She is, conveniently, an orphan, and lives at an undisclosed address in the Glasnevin area of Dublin with her pet toad, Much Misunderstood, and a small black kitten, Hugh Shalby Nameless. You needn’t think she goes to school – pah! – or has anything as dull as brothers and sisters or hobbies, but let’s just say she keeps a large saucepan bubbling on the stove.
Annie Graves is a prolific writer of children's books. She writes all the Nightmare Club titles HERSELF, but various authors CLAIM to have helped her: Deirdre Sullivan, Alice Stevens, Katherine Farmar, Oisín McGann, David Maybury, Sarah Purcell, Dave Rudden.
