Publishers WeeklyA down-to-earth 16-year-old lands a job as nanny for a wealthy eight-year-old (sneaky) child prodigy in what PW called a "sardonic send-up of young haute society." Ages 14-up. (Mar.) Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
Children's LiteratureTaking care of an 8-year-old kid genius, Emma, is not everything it is cracked up to be. The pay might be the only good thing in the web of stories Adrienne, the nanny, is involved in—that is, if she does not get fired like all the previous nannies. Adrienne is a temporary nanny until the British nanny makes her appearance. Forced to stay much longer than she expected, Adrienne is more of a permanent nanny. Emma's older half-sister, Cameron, is a high-maintenance, lying, stealing, selfish teenager.
