Mimi, a famous reclusive author and the mother of a very unique nine year old boy, loses her money in a Ponzi scheme and needs to write another novel quick. Alice, a editorial assistant, is assigned to help Mimi type pages and deliver coffee. Instead, she ends up becoming Mimi's son's, Frank, Nanny. Frank's "IQ is higher than 99.7% of the American public's." He dresses like he is a movie star from the 1930's. This boy who has nothing in common with his peers will simply capture your heart.
Although I won't be purchasing it for the middle school library, I do recommend this book for high school students and adults. I enjoyed it so much that I am planning on asking for it back if and when I loan it to a friend. I hope to read it again some day; and I never reread books.
