Aunt Jane's Nieces on the Ranch - Lyman Frank Baum

In the eighth instalment in the ‘Aunt Jane’ series of novels by L. Frank Baum, we join Uncle John, Patsy and Elizabeth as they head to California to visit their cousin Louise and her husband Arthur Weldon, who have just had their first child – a little girl named Jane. Displeased with Louise’s choice of nurse for the newborn, Uncle John takes it upon himself to hire a new nurse who travels with them to California. The two nurses take an instant dislike to one another, and when they both disappear one day along with baby Jane, the search is on. A tense tale from the prolific author.
