Description

This is the worst summer ever! Everything in their lives has changed: new house, new neighborhood, new nanny, and no friends.For ten-year-old Spencer, this was not the summer he wanted and he's not happy about it. His family moved at the end of the school year to a neighborhood with no kids. He misses his friends and feels anxious about starting a new school for fifth grade. What's worse, he's stuck with his annoying seven-year-old brother, Justin, and an odd nanny that his mother hired to watch them for the summer. Spencer thinks the nanny is strange and is hiding something ... and he plans to figure out what it is. And, she makes him play with his little brother so she can watch her favorite show. Everything changes when Justin disappears under the antique couch while playing hide-and-seek. Spencer tries to find Justin and soon the brothers are trapped in a strange under-the-couch world. They learn they have to work together to figure out how to get out of this mess and return home ... before the nanny notices they are missing. Hide and Seek is the first book in a kids' fantasy series about two brothers who discover a strange world under the couch where they have a lot of fun, face danger, and learn important lessons through experience. And all while the nanny is watching her favorite show. This series is about sibling relationships, overcoming challenges, and accepting differences.
