Babysitting Narc

Rhino, Cody, and Nick Mantis are triplets who share nothing in common except their birthday, and even that's different!

Rhino is a quiet, irritable artist who's jealous of both his "younger" brothers. I mean, come on! How come HE has to be the one with the big nose? Just because he was born first? He's a neat freak, a doodle freak, and a control freak. What can he do? There are rules to follow, why not follow them?

Cody is a hyper, maniacal whirlwind who stops at nothing! His room is messy, his hair is messy, but what does he care? Life is for FUN, not chores! But he had to be the one with everything wrong with him, hm? He just HAD to be the short one, the math genius, and the one with more energy then he can handle. His older brother gets on his nerves, and his younger one, well, he's just there to fill space.

Nick is shy, lazy, and TOTALLY the baby of the family. Well, okay, he's only an hour and a half younger then Rhino, but he IS the youngest. Nick spends most of his time sleeping, eating, reading magazines, or daydreaming. Actually, that's kinda all he does. His brothers baby so much (they do his chores, let him sleep in, and cover for him when they're in trouble) that, well, maybe it's a problem? I don't know, maybe he's just a lazy kid!

When Cody gets a call from a desperate lady in need of a babysitter, the triplets are on the case! Well, Cody and Rhino are. But babysitting the "fearsome foursome" is harder then it looks. Maxine, Drill, and Jenny are nice and almost perfect angels. Hm, maybe this is easier then they thought?

But then they meet Narc Lysine, a total spoiled brat who gets EVERYTHING when he wants, and when he wants. Can they survive another day with Narc? Probably not.

Cody's idea of discipline is holding Narc up by his ankles as punishment. Nick just kicks him. Rhino's going to have to lay down a list of rules. But will they be followed?

Book reccomended for ages 10-16.
