Thirteen-year-old Edie knows that she doesn't need a nanny. She's old enough to look after herself, and her six-year-old brother Stan. Between them, they've managed to scare off nearly everyone who their parents have hired to take care of them. So when a girl of just sixteen starts looking after them after school, Edie is less than impressed. But then the girl, Alice B. Lovely, with her captivating dress sense and strange way of looking at the world, starts to win over Stan... could she be the person to fix Edie's problems?
Huge recommendation as one that younger teens will absolutely adore and older teens looking for a light read will also find to be well worth checking out.
Another of my favourites by McCombie is the delightful [[Six Words and a Wish by Karen McCombie]], while Cathy Cassidy is another author who regularly produces absolutely lovely reads - my favourite of hers is probably [[Cherry Crush: The Chocolate Box Girls by Cathy Cassidy]]. We think you'll also enjoy [[The Year of Big Dreams by Karen McCombie|The Year of Big Dreams]] and [[Little Bird Flies by Karen McCombie|Little Bird Flies]], both by Karen McCombie.
