Goosebumps meets The Last Kids on Earth in the second action-packed adventure in a hilariously scary series about a secret society of monster-bashing babysitters.

“This shining gem in the campy monster drama genre is a step up from R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps.” —School Library Journal

Kelly’s been a celebrity ever since she defeated the Boogeyman and his army of nightmares on Halloween. But now all the other monsters want revenge.

And if Kelly’s going to survive Babysitter Bootcamp, she’ll have to face the Spider Queen, whose wicked web turns her parents, BFF, and middle-school teachers into mindless minions. All in a night’s work!

Editorial Reviews

Review

Praise for A BABYSITTER’S GUIDE TO MONSTER HUNTING #1: “This shining gem in the campy monster drama genre is a step up from R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps.” — School Library Journal

“A series opener that melds Goosebumps and the Baby-Sitters Club with ironic glue.” — Kirkus Reviews

“This new series gives babysitting a daring edge and sets up girls outside of the popular crowd as heroines. An entertaining debut.” — Booklist

“A Babysitter’s Guide to Monster Hunting is scary, funny, clever, and filled with heart. Best of all, the main character, Kelly Ferguson, proves a smart, appealing, and very real hero. You will root for her, and then you will root for a sequel.” — Gabrielle Zevin, New York Times Bestselling Author

“Joe Ballarini’s book is an anthem for female friendship and the power that comes with it.” — Ali Bell, executive producer Ghostbusters

“A nonstop thrillventure about how to overcome your monsters!” — John Lee, director of Pee Wee’s Big Holiday

“A rich, wonderful, and exciting world of characters and action. A superfun read!” — Ian Bryce, producer of Transformers

“Ballarini’s action-packed debut is amazing! An adventure roller-coaster ride with crazy chases, daring escapes, exploding teddy bears, enchanted weaponry, and an army of nightmares.” — Callum Greene, executive producer of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

“A reminder that monsters believe in you even if you don’t believe in them.” — Adam Robitel, director of Insidious and The Taking of Deborah Logan

At the end of last school year we received a list of books for upcoming 6th graders. So I bought her the first book. She finished it in a week and asked for the second book. I got her the second book and she finished that one in three days!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Thought it was a lot of fun
Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2020
In Beasts and Geeks it starts up a little bit after what happened in the first book. Kelly is enjoying a bit of celebrity status among the babysitters because of what happened at the end of the first book. Though things are not going so well for her at babysitter bootcamp.

She gets an ominous message from a creature (can't remember what it was, sorry) about needing to protect the turtle. They all think this is kind of strange until Kelly ends up with a babysitting emergency. A young mother needs her right away and even though she really isn't suppose to be taking on more assignments she does anyway and ends up protecting an infant (with a turtle birthmark) from the evil Spider Queen!

The Spider Queen is out for revenge for what Kelly has done and the Spider Queen and her minions (nasty spiders) turn her family, friends and a lot of others into mindless minions to do her bidding. It's up to Kelly once again to fight a monster and save everyone!

Super cute and fun story perfect for this time of the year! I love the gang of babysitter so much they each have their strengths and weaknesses. Even though Kelly is the main character it's the side characters that create a fun story! I can't remember all their names but I loved how the one girl is so crushing on Curtis and he has no clue! I love Victor because he must really like Kelly to go through so much trouble to spend time with her and get involved with babysitters and monsters!

Highly recommend this for young readers and well adults too! :)

I really like Kelly and the rest of the gang! The book is well-written and fast paced. I did have to skim a few parts though because I have arachnophobia and there are a lot of spiders in this book.
