Tizzie reluctantly agrees to babysit for the mischievous Toody next door, only to discover that the five-year-old is far more trouble than she bargained for—pulling pranks, refusing to stay in bed, and generally running circles around her all evening. When Tizzie finally manages to get him to sleep, she wakes the next morning to find herself in hot water, accused of tying Toody up with string, though her bruises tell a very different story about who was really causing the chaos.
Polly and a friend make homemade milkshakes using jam, ice cream, and milk in mason jars—with each preferring their shake at a different thickness. As they shake up their favorite flavors and enjoy the results, they discover that this simple kitchen project is both fun and delicious.
Deirdre Hanna, a twelve-year-old from Bucks County, Pennsylvania, has already claimed over 250 trophies and ribbons in horsemanship competitions—and she's just getting started. Growing up around horses from age three, Dee learned to ride and eventually saved her earnings from raising rabbits to buy her own horse, Easter, and now manages seven horses on the family farm while excelling at school sports and hoping one day to train and show horses across the country and abroad.
