Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The Hellman children must make dowith a nanny while their mother is away at a spa. The only problem? Their nanny is a monster.
Grah is hairy, dusty, and doesn't talk. When the siblings discover that other neighborhood kids have been left with similar creatures, they start to wonder where the monsters came from. With the parents away, the kids work together (between bickering) to figure out the mystery of the monsters.
Tolonen seamlessly intertwines contemporary life with a world full of strange creatures. Monster Nanny is at once a refreshing change of pace and a return to timeless adventure.
"Original edition published by Tammi Publishers, 2015."
When their mother wins a trip while their father is away, Halley, Koby, and Mimi's lives are turned upside-down by a hairy, smelly, half-troll nanny.
