Sweet Valley Kids #5: Jessica's Cat Trick

Image
Jessica and Elizabeth find a lost cat outside one day, but because Steven and Ned have allergies, they hide the cat in their closet. Both twins take turns distracting Alice so they can sneak cans of tuna and glasses of milk upstairs. Since the cat has gray fur, they decide to name her Misty. It doesn't take long before they tell all their friends and their friends tell other people. Caroline shows up one morning and begs to see the cat. The twins aren't too thrilled because they worry she'll tell her parents and get them in trouble. Caroline comes to the rescue though when the cat gets out of their room. She covers up the cat's meow noises, and when Alice thinks she smells tuna in the girls' room, Caroline says she has a tuna sandwich.

The Baby-Sitters Club #131: The Fire at Mary Anne's House

It's once again summer in Stoneybrook, which means that Mary Anne is just chilling and reading the latest issue of Teenzine while playing with Tigger. When she comes across a contest to find the country's best sitter, she thinks about why all the other girls should win. She then tells the club about it and gets all embarrassed when they suggest she enter. Even though the contest clearly says sitter singularly, Kristy decides that they should enter as a group. Charlotte “helps” them get testimonials from their charges, Mary Anne agrees to write the club history, and Kristy decided to do the “why I like to sit” essay portion. A few nights later, Mary Anne wakes in the middle of the night to Tigger freaking out in bed. She eventually realizes that the house is on fire. Mary Anne gets to the hallway, her dad helps her get outside, and Sharon is already there and has called for help. Firefighters arrive, but they quickly inform them that the house is pretty much toast.
