DESCRIPTION:

When high school senior Charlotte agrees to babysit the Wilbanks twins, she plans to put the six-year-olds to bed early and spend a quiet night studying: the SATs are tomorrow, and checking the Native American/Alaskan Native box on all the forms won’t help if she chokes on test day. But tomorrow is also Halloween, and the twins are eager to show off their costumes.

Charlotte’s last babysitting gig almost ended in tragedy when her young charge sleepwalked unnoticed into the middle of the street, only to be found unharmed by Charlotte’s mother, so she vows to be extra careful this time.

But the house is filled with mysterious noises and secrets that only the twins understand. There are strange holes and odd happenings – echoes of horrors that took place in the house eleven years ago. Soon Charlotte has to admit that every babysitter’s worst nightmare has come true: they’re not alone in the house.

Drace (dracenines) | 7524 comments Another bump.


message 4: by Drace (new)

Drace (dracenines) | 7524 comments Giving this thread an early bump because the book comes out tomorrow and these issues really need to be corrected.

Brad Audiobibliophile (trollslayer1) | 9851 comments All done.


message 6: by Drace (new)

Drace (dracenines) | 7524 comments Thanks for your help. A few issues left:

https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio... - All of the editions on this page need to be combined with the editions on this page: https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...

#1, 4 - as per Goodreads policy, the ISBN-10 also needs to be put in the ASIN field.

#3 - The description is missing. It should be the same as in #4. Additionally, the format is incorrect. It should be Audible.


message 7: by Brad (new)

Brad Audiobibliophile (trollslayer1) | 9851 comments #1, 4 ASIN added.

#3 ??? description is there: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

also #3 added as Audiobook because since the latest change to GR policy neither librarians nor staff can add Audible or Kindle as editions, only ebook and Audiobook, which will, supposedly, get updated automatically by the Amazon Bot... This is due to Kindle & Audible editions automatically being added by the Amazon Bot although it ONLY considers the US Amazon and ignores the other Amazon international sites, UK, IN, CA, AU etc but we still can't add Kindle or Audible as an edition.

Also realised some editions needed combining. Done.

Drace (dracenines) | 7524 comments When I made that reply, the description wasn't showing up for me. It was just one word like "There" or something like that.

Thank you for your help, hugely appreciated!
