About the book
Becky can hardly believe her luck when she's offered a job as mother's helper on a holiday island. She can work on her tan and earn money at the same time! It's the perfect holiday job, or so Becky thinks... But then the accidents start to happen, and the frightening phone calls begin. Suddenly Becky's island paradise seems more like a prison, and her dream job is turning into a nightmare. Mother's helper is going to need all the help she can get. --Cover
