After growing up as an orphan, Millie Longfellow is determined to become the best nanny the East Coast has ever seen. Unfortunately, her playfulness and enthusiasm aren't always well-received and she finds herself dismissed from yet another position.
Everett Mulberry has quite unexpectedly become guardian to three children that scare off every nanny he hires. About to depart for Newport, Rhode Island, for the summer, he's desperate for competent childcare.
At wit's end with both Millie and Everett, the employment agency gives them one last chance--with each other. As Millie falls in love with her mischievous charges, Everett focuses on achieving the coveted societal status of the upper echelons. But as he investigates the suspicious circumstances surrounding the death of the children's parents, will it take the loss of those he loves to learn whose company he truly wants for the rest of his life?
This book was a fun read; just thinking about the flour and water "incident," makes me smile. There were a series of funny incidents throughout the book that made me laugh out loud. I think the picture on the front of the book, shows how much fun Millie is. The interaction with all the characters made for a fun read and a one with many twists and turns.
Millie's interaction with the children though made the book for me. As you both feel sorry and then want to wring the children's neck for all the trouble they cause. The peacocks are so funny in it as well. I know who knew peacocks could be funny!
Stars out of 5 : 4.5 A fun book to read, and one that doesn't require too much concentration or thought. A perfect book to while away an afternoon or two. Some of the characters from Jen's other books also make an appearance or are referred to in this book. However you don't need to read any of her other books to enjoy this one.

This sounds interesting..when you just want to have something that doesn't require deep thinking.
