Roxy Tuscany Monaghan(NJ):Perfect Nanny?

January!With Mrs.Engle going back to work,the 2 Brewer kids need a Nanny.On 1,Karen disagrees.On 2,Andrew disagrees.Will the 3rd be perfect?Read it!

Excellent!

Karen's life is changing way too fast. The little house moved to Chicago, and came back. The big house got a new kitten, but Boo-boo (their old cat) died. Now Karen's mom is going to work. Which means that Karen and her little brother are getting a nanny. Karen doesn't want a nanny. She is tired of all of these changes. So Karen decides that her New Year's resolution will be not to change. She even makes a schedule! Karen can only have smooth peanut butter on whole wheat bread for an after school snack. She can only do homework between 4 to 5. She has to raise her hand in school every other question. Even if Karen doesn't know the answer! This schedule is making everyone go crazy! Especially Karen! What is she going to do? Break her resolution, or keep it? Either way, her life will be miserable! Meanwhile, Karen's mother is interviewing three nannies for Karen and Andrew. Andrew liked the first one, but hated the second. Karen didn't like the first one, but thought the second was okay. Will the third nanny be okay with both Karen and Andrew? Karen's Nanny got five stars from me. It was great. The only thing wrong with it was, the book was mainly about Karen's NOT CHANGING resolution. Only a few chapters were about a nanny. But the book was still great. Especially Karen and Addie's Project Jupiter assignment. Read it!
