When Mary Anne finds an unsuspecting chain-letter in her mailbox, she is undeterred. But soon the innocent seeming letter turn out to be a curse. Everything goes wrong for the BSC girls while babysitting until one day Mary Anne finds a charm that she must wear "or else". How could a seemingly innocent chain letter turn out to be such a mysterious curse? I thought this book was great. Going in a more of a mystery dialogue, Ann M. Martin captures the spookiness of Halloween and the thrill of trying the find the suspect of the mysterious chain letters. This book was fun to read, a little spooky, and sometimes funny. I suggest if you like mysteries, friendship, and babysitting. Happy reading!
