Publisher Description
Sixteen-year-old Adrienne Lewis is in charge of eight-year-old Emma Warner, the youngest member of the snooty Warner family. Emma is an evil genius who has gotten all five previous nannies fired -- and she's the good news. Because then there's Emma's half brother, Graydon, who goes to college -- yet always seems to be lurking around waiting to hit on Adrienne. But worst of all is Emma's beautiful seventeen-year-old half sister, Cameron, whose reputation as a wild girl, a liar, and a user is known to everyone . . . everyone, that is, except Adrienne.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Ashton's pleasingly over-the-top tale centers on Adrienne, a down-to-earth 16-year-old who lands a job as nanny for eight-year-old Emma Warner, a sneaky child prodigy. The Warners ("billionaire socialites") live in the same posh Fifth Avenue apartment building where Adrienne's best friend, Liz, also works as a nanny. The descriptions of the Warners' lavish penthouse are comically tongue-in-cheek: the wallpaper in the master bedroom allegedly came from an English duke's country house, Mrs. Warner's office looks like "a room at the Metropolitan Museum of Art," and the woman's dressing room is filled with "dozens" of fur coats. Gorgeous, aspiring model Cameron, Emma's half-sister, ostensibly befriends Adrienne, treating her to a makeover and a shopping spree at Bergdorf's, and inviting her to hang out with her wealthy, glam friends. Meanwhile, the conniving gal sinks her claws into Adrienne's boyfriend, Brian, and shamelessly threatens to saddle Adrienne with responsibility for Cam's own exploits. A subplot involving Liz and the wacky woman she works for pales next to the soap opera that envelops Adrienne. Frequent segues into the often appalled Adrienne's mind provide much of the humor in this sardonic send-up of young haute society. Ages 13-up.
Customer Reviews
It's on the fence!
It's a good book but it's definitely not for kids. It has a lot of inappropriate things for kids in it such as under aged kids getting drunk and skinny dipping? But other than that it's a really good series!!!
A good book
A good book. Well worth 8.99.
