π JUST RELEASED from the Hawthorneβs Backyard Literary Collection:
The Baby-Sitters Club #3:
Chuck and the Mystery of the Unclaimed Child
Fresh off the events of Lea and the Impossible Shift, our newest installment follows Chuck as he encounters every restaurant employee's greatest mystery:
π¦ A child appears.
π€ No adult appears to be attached to said child.
π Thirty minutes pass.
π Still no adult.
Determined to crack the case, Chuck begins his investigation:
π Is this child with Table 12?
β No.
π Table 18?
β Also no.
π The birthday party?
β Negative.
π Has this child simply lived here since Memorial Day?
π€·ββοΈ Evidence remains inconclusive.
This suspense-filled adventure features:
πββοΈ A youngster reaching speeds normally reserved for Olympic sprinters
π Half-eaten chicken tenders discovered in unexpected locations
π― Objects flying through the air with no identifiable launch point
π«₯ Parents who may or may not exist
π¨ Multiple staff members forming an unofficial search-and-rescue task force
Meanwhile, Chuck is just trying to solve the mystery before the child appoints themselves Assistant General Manager.
We LOVE having families at Hawthorne's Backyard. We just ask that parents keep an eye on their little adventurers so our staff can focus on serving guests instead of conducting custody investigations.
