Bookroo's summary
Emma and her siblings adore their lively nanny, Annie. But when Annie plans a trip to Ireland, panic sets in. What if she doesn't return? Enter Mrs. Potts, the substitute nanny who just doesn't measure up. Faced with the prospect of a joyless three weeks, Emma hatches a clever plan to ensure Annie's return. Will their scheme succeed, or are they stuck with Mrs. Potts? The adventure unfolds with unexpected twists and a dash of mischief, as the kids navigate their dilemma with humor and heart.
From the publisher
Emma loves the family’s Irish nanny. Annie’s fun. She likes pets. She keeps secrets. She wears wonderful clothes. And she likes to play. Emma’s sisters and brothers are also crazy about her. So when Annie announces that she’s returning to Ireland for three weeks to see her sisters, the kids panic. What if Annie doesn’t come back? What if their parents hire a new nanny, someone who doesn’t like ferrets, or even worse, kids? Annie introduces them to a substitute nanny named Mrs. Potts. But the kids don’t take to her. She’s just not Annie. What a dilemma! Then Emma has a brainstorm…and the fun really begins!
