5.0 out of 5 stars Claudia's not sure she wants to find out who's calling., August 27, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Bsc #02: Claudia And The Phantom Phone Calls (Baby-Sitters Club: Collector's Edition) (Paperback)

Kristy, Claudia, Mary Anne, and Stacey have had some strange adventures since they started the Baby-sitters Club. But nothing's been as spooky as what's going on right now. The baby-sitters have been getting mysterious phone calls when they're out on their jobs. When a phone rings and they pick up, there's no one on the other end of the line. Claudia's sure it's the Phantom Caller, a jewel thief who's been operating in the area. Claudia has always liked reading mysteries, but she doesn't like it when they happen to her. So she and the baby-sitters decide to take action- with some very mixed results!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is scariest book ever... and greatest too!, February 18, 2000

This review is from: Bsc #02: Claudia And The Phantom Phone Calls (Baby-Sitters Club: Collector's Edition) (Paperback)

BSC is so scared. They've started to get weird phone calls when they're baby-sitting. They don't know what to do. The scary adventures at stormy nights, when lights are out... And phone keeps ringing... and ringing... and ringing...

This book was scarier than Stephen King's books! To make it scarier, read it at night! Or, well. Maybe you shouldn't, because you can't sleep after that.

"Cheeann" was wrong with her review. Because this is made in 1986 and there wasn't many Caller ID's those days. So, this book is realistic!

I'll rate this with 5 stars!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Phone Caller Mystery, December 15, 2006

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Bsc #02: Claudia And The Phantom Phone Calls (Baby-Sitters Club: Collector's Edition) (Paperback)

The book Claudia and the Phantom Phone Calls by Ann M. Martin is about four girls named Claudia, Kristy, Stacey and Mary Anne. They meet each other at school and they want to baby-sit so the make a babysitters club. They think of ways to make people want to have them as there babysitter. They become a group and do it for a really long time and for what I have read in each book there together and they meet other people to be in the club. The only problem about that is that some people leave. ¼ So in this book they hear about this Phantom Phone Caller and what the phantom phone caller does is he calls and he sees if anybody is home and he calls and hangs up. If anyone does not answer he will come and rob the house. If anyone does answer he will still rob the house. They hear all about it and they hear that he is there city. Only Claudia and Kristy get the phone calls. Who could it be?

I think that Claudia and the Phantom phone Calls is a great book that if you like short stories and you do not want to put your book down I definitely recommend it.
