Synopsis
What kind of a nanny wears a motorcycle jacket, mirrored sunglasses, and a straw hat with flowers on top? When ten-year-old Ali and eight-year-old Jake find out that an odd woman who calls herself Nanny X is going to care for them, they're worried. They see her speak into a diaper. Even weirder, the diaper actually seems to be answering her. Everything begins to make sense when the kids discover Nanny X's secret identity. It turns out that Ali, Jake, and their toddler sister are in for a wild ride as they help Nanny X with a mysterious mission.

Reviews
Gr 3–5—Alison Pringle, 10, doesn't want a nanny; she wants her mother to stay home rather than going back to work as a lawyer. The feeling intensifies when she meets the new nanny, ominously named Nanny X. She wears a garden hat and a motorcycle jacket, and knows way more than she should. When Alison; her eight-year-old brother, Jake; baby sister, Eliza; and Nanny X go to a meeting about the park being turned into a factory, Alison soon discovers that there is much more to her new caregiver than she could have ever imagined. Could Nanny X be a secret agent? Reminiscent of Jarrett Krosoczka's "Lunch Lady" series (Random), Nanny X provides an humorous story about an unexpected hero. The narration alternates between Alison and Jake, giving an interesting change in perspective. A solid addition to a popular genre.—Heidi Grange, Summit Elementary School, Smithfield, UT
