Description

Hannah thought that babysitting would be a breeze. But when an earthquake hits, things start to get shaky...

Twelve-year-old Hannah Steele doesn't mind babysitting after school. She just took a babysitting class, and her charges, Zoe and Oscar, are basically her next-door neighbours, so it's really no big deal.

But then the shaking begins. Pottery topples. Furniture lurches across the floor. Glass shatters. The earthquake lasts four whole minutes. It knocks out the power. The stairs collapse. Phone lines are down, and cell service is nonexistent.

Even worse, the ferry and the bridge aren't running, so their parents can't get back to them. Which means they're stranded and alone, with Hannah in charge...
