Synopsis- Ali, Jake, and their baby sister got excited when Nanny X walked through their doorway once more. After all, Nanny X was a secret agent with lots of cool gadgets, and she even let them help her on a case! But, all is normal now. After that case, Nanny X is now acting like… well, like a normal nanny. That is, until they find out about a criminal called the Angler. The Angler has threatened to destroy precious national treasures if a fish stature that was sent isn’t put up at the White House lawn. Will Nanny X and the kids save the day in time?
What I Thought– This was a really great sequel to Nanny X (see my review HERE)! Nanny X (the character) is a fun, slightly wacky, nanny who just so happens to be a secret government agent working for NAP (Nanny Action Patrol). That’s just the icing on the cake. It was a nice touch to have siblings Ali and Jake get along (well, maybe not 100%, but realistically close 🙂 ). I really like Ms. Rosenberg’s writing style. It captures the essence of being a kid perfectly (it’s told from Jake and Ali’s point-of-view, every other chapter (Jake, then Ali, then Jake, etc.)). I really like this series. It has just enough realism to make you think that it could happen in real life. This is a great book and a good series for young readers!
I give this book five out of five bookworms!

Thank YOU for sending the book and taking the time to comment, Ms. Rosenberg! 🙂
I know several young readers who might enjoy this one. Thanks for featuring.
No problem! Thank you for commenting! 🙂
I don’t think there are enough Nanny stories…being a Nana myself! But I do have a magic cape, and I can make magic happen whenever I like. And I do sometimes speak in riddles! Not to mention story-telling. But a Nanny who saves the world! Now there’s an ambition.
Yup! Nanny X is the perfect babysitter! 😀 It’s a great series!
