Synopsis
Marty McGuire really has her hands full this time -- with a lazy boa, a hyper hamster, and a potty-mouthed parrot! Is her pet sitting business about to go OUT of business?
After visiting a sanctuary for retired lab chimpanzees, Marty wants to follow in the footsteps of her idol Jane Goodall and help with their care. But "adopting a chimp" is expensive, so Marty and her third-grade pals hatch a plan to raise money by holding a talent show at school and opening a pet-sitting business in Marty's basement. It turns out that each pet has a personality of its own, and wrangling them is much harder than Marty expected. How will Marty keep her latest great idea from going to the dogs?

From Booklist
In this third chapter book in the well-regarded Marty McGuire series, Marty persuades her teacher to turn the class talent show into a benefit for the nearby Great Ape Sanctuary. Wanting to raise more money but reluctant to ask her parents for help, Marty starts a clandestine pet-sitting service in her basement. Disaster strikes when both Bitsy the six-foot python and Houdini the gerbil escape. Messner makes the most of Marty’s story with a nicely differentiated cast of empathetic characters and plenty of dramatic range. The line-and-gray-wash illustrations by Caldecott Medal–winning artist Floca capture moments of anxiety, despair, and happiness with equal grace. Grades 2-4. --Carolyn Phelan
