Bookroo's summary

Maggie lands a job at the town's new theater, eager to learn about acting while babysitting the director's child. But when a sinister ghoul disrupts the production, Maggie and her friends must unravel the mystery and save opening night. Will their friendship and courage be enough to banish the supernatural threat before the curtain rises?

From the publisher

The Baby-Sitters Club meets Goosebumps in the third book of this series about a group of girls who face down supernatural threats on their babysitting gigs.

Anchored by a strong friendship between smart, savvy girls, this fun adventure story is filled with “safe scary” jump scares that will appeal to contemporary readers as well as fans of mysteries.

When the town’s old movie palace is converted into a theater, Maggie is thrilled to get a job helping with the first production. She may just be babysitting the director’s kids, but Maggie is determined to learn everything she can about acting. Unfortunately, a devilish ghoul seems to have other plans for the performance! It’s up to Maggie and her three best friends to vanquish the threat in time for opening night.
