In this new middle grade book series, a world-renowned tween babysitter is recruited to take care of extra-terrestrial children. Think BABY-SITTERS CLUB meets MEN IN BLACK!
About the Book:
Case File: The First Unsittable
Summary: The Association Linking Intergalatics and Earthlings (hereby known as A.L.I.E.N.) has a new member. After months of investigation, Gabby Duran, Associate 4118-25125A, has proven herself to be a babysitter extraordinaire. Her celebrity clients fly her around the country to care for their rambunctious little humans. Our spy, Associate 4118-23432B, otherwise known as Edwina, believes Gabby can be trusted with the truth: aliens are living among humans on Earth. And here at A.L.I.E.N we believe that even extraterrestrials need a babysitter now and then. No one was up to the task…until now.
After accepting the top-secret position, Edwina has paired our new associate up with her first charge, a little girl from the planet Flarknartia. The timing for associate 4118-25125A is less than ideal. It’s a school day on Planet Earth, Gabby’s audition for the solo part in the band is tonight, and this tiny alien is a bit more than meets the eye.
Can Gabby Duran, Associate 4118-25125A, First Sitter to the Unsittables, keep her otherworldly charge safe in the unpredictable halls of middle-school and keep A.L.I.E.N hidden?

Lily Kwan says
I don’t believe in aliens. Thanks for the great giveaway!
Susan Smith says
I believe that we are not alone in the universe but I don’t believe that aliens visit us. It would be fun to visit another planet and find other people living there.
Sarah L says
It’s been 60 years since I needed a babysitter. Don’t remember anything about it.
Thanks for the contest.
Sandy VanBuskirk says
I use to baby set a beautiful little girl she was 5, when I was 16, now she is 47 years old. She has grown into a beautiful woman with a family of her own .
Amanda Sakovitz says
I had a few babysitters when I was a kid. They would sneak guys over. I also believe in aliens.
Nicole Carter (Weasley) says
I do not believe in Aliens. Even though I love those movies! LOL.
Jessica says
The universe is big, very big. So, it’s ridiculous to think that only one planet among all the billions managed to produce life. In other words, yes, I believe there are aliens somewhere.
Soo says
I don’t believe in aliens. Not in the little green men, anyways.
natalie nichols says
I believe that there are other life forms out there. I think they just might be very far away.
Kortney Picker says
I had a very interesting babysitting experience…it was my first time babysitting. The 7 year old boy was looking at his dads dirty magazines so I took them away and he pulled a knife on me. It sounds worse than it was (he didn’t really want to hurt me he just didn’t want his parents to know he was looking at the magazines).
Dorothy Teel says
I remember when I was a lot (eons) ago younger that I was babysitting my younger brothers in our apartment in Navy Housing in Brooklyn New York in the early 60’s and we were all at the park across the street from our apartment, we lived on the thirteenth floor and mom would hang a red bandana out the window when it was time to come in well someone started a story about a gorilla man loose in the park and we freake4d out and I had my brothers and I leave the park, but the elevators were not there and we climbed the stairs to the fifth floor when we heard laughing and how it was a joke and how us kids had freaked out, ugh
Dee B says
I remember as a child I was really scard of aliens! I do think that there may be life on other planets. We think too highly of ourselves as humans..
Heather in VA says
I believe that we are not alone in the universe but I don’t believe that aliens visit us. But it’s always fun to read about aliens.
Lana Bradstream says
I believe there is life elsewhere in the universe. It would be pretty arrogant for us to believe we’re alone. I just don’t think they have made contact with us.
Amber Ludwig says
I definitely believe in aliens!! There has to be another life form in the universe besides us!
sandra says
I do not believe in aliens in the way they are portrayed in movies. I do believe that there are life forms on other planets. it would be egotistical to think that we’re the only living planet.
Holly E says
Sure, I think it is very possible that aliens are real. I mean that universe is vast.
amanda whitley says
i am not sure if i believe in aliens. i dont think its crazy for others to believe i just find it hard to believe without evidence
PuffyBiggles says
My baby sitting experiences were not that memorable. I’m not sure if I believe in Aliens. I do and I don’t. How’s that for certainty, lol. Thanks for the giveaway!
Cynthia C says
I remember when my nephew baby sat for me. My son’s diaper was on backwards, but I gave him credit for trying!
DARLA KIDDER says
Yes I believe in Aliens , I watch Hangar 1 on History 2 all of the time, but I wouldn’t know what to do if I ever saw one in real life.
Or a UFO for that matter.
Jeani b says
i remember not being too appreciate of babysitters, ever! when i was a kid, i had my older brothers and sister and we’d rebel together. i do believe in aliens.
Lauren Becker says
Thanks for the fun giveaway. As for aliens, I do believe in them…I feel like there has to be something else out there, but as to what they look like and all that? I have no clue.
Pam H. says
I just babysat my niece and nephew this past weekend. They decided to start arguing at the kitchen table. My nephew swung his arm and the soda he was drinking went flying across the room. There was soda on the walls, the table, the chairs, and across the floor. My poor puppy was even covered in soda. It was an awful mess.
Holly Thomas says
I have never had a babysitter and do not believe in aliens.
Carol says
I don’t really have any unforgettable baby sitter experiences! I don’t believe in aliens
Janet W. says
I don’t believe there are aliens out there. I think if there was, we have the technology to prove it and have concrete evidence.
Kristen says
I remember I used to babysit identical twins and they would always try to fool me about who was who! LOL I was like…well whoever you are, it’s time for bed!!
steve weber says
There is no way there are aliens out there.. it’s all hogwash.
Samantha Wagner says
I don’t have any crazy babysitting stories. Thankfully all the kids I babysat were good.
Jan Lee says
Klout is having issues. I emailed them about it on Saturday and they replied. They said they are aware of the issues and are working on it. You can’t give any Klout as the topics are missing.
Jan Lee says
I was in high school babysitting a neighbor’s child. He was 2 and very cute. I got him up from his nap, and sat him in his high chair for a snack. I got a box of Cheerios out to put some on his tray, and stupidly left the box right on the table where he was sitting in his high chair. I left the room to get a bib from his dresser. When I came back, there were Cheerios and the empty box, allll over the floor. He was eating some of them of course, lol I had to put him back in his crib so I could vacuum up the cereal before his mother got home lol
Elena says
I don’t believe in aliens, but would love win this prize.
Kelly Nicholson says
Please leave a thoughtful comment of at least 2 full complete sentence
i think aliens are out there,i think some live in washington and are wearing human suits,,i cant really tell for sure who is who until they start talking…
Emily Endrizzi says
I babysat these 3 horrible little brothers when I was younger. I was inexperienced and they totally took advantage. Most of it is a blur, but I do recall them locking themselves in the bathroom at one point and refusing to go to bed. Agh! I don’t believe in aliens, but I don’t rule out the possibility that I could be wrong.
Leigh Anne Borders says
Part of me wants to believe that there are other lifeforms out there. The universe is endless.
bill norris says
People cant possibly think that we are the only beings in this vast universe. We may never meet them but statistics say that that there should be some.
David Fultner says
Well I have never seen. I think it sure could be true.
Alison Tolar says
A babysitting experience I will not forget was when I was once babysitting my nephew and my doggy niece. My nephew was much easier to take care of than the dog. She pooped in the house and boy did it stink!!! In order to not suffocate and to clean up the mess, my nephew and I had to make homemade gas masks. We got handkerchiefs and sprayed cologne on them and then tied them around our heads to cover our noses. It was quiet an unforgettable adventure. Luckily, we survived.
Pamela Gurganus says
I don’t really have any unforgettable baby sitter experiences! I don’t believe in aliens.
