Bookroo's summary

Heidi Heckelbeck is determined to prove she's ready for babysitting, despite her mom's doubts. With friends Laurel and Bruce, she creates the 'Little Explorers Museum' for the school fair, featuring art, science, and babysitting. But when her booth struggles to attract visitors, Heidi wonders if her Book of Spells holds the key to success. Will a touch of magic be enough to save the day, or will she need more than spells to prove her responsibility?

From the publisher

Heidi Heckelbeck wants to prove she can make it in the babysitting business, but she’ll need a little magic and a lot of help from her friends! Heidi Heckelbeck is eager to start babysitting, but her mom doesn’t think she’s old enough yet. To prove she’s ready to be responsible, Heidi teams up with Laurel and Bruce to create a spectacular booth–called the “Little Explorers Museum”–for the Brewster Elementary fair. It’s going to be an exciting exhibit of fabulous art projects, nifty science experiments…and babysitting! But when Heidi worries that her babysitting station won’t attract enough visitors, will her Book of Spells help her find a magical solution? With easy-to-read language and illustrations on almost ever page, the Heidi Heckelbeck chapter books are perfect for beginning readers.
