Confessions of a Teen Nanny

1.  In my book right now a girl named Adrianne is working for a wealthy family. She is a babysitter of an eight year old girl named Emma. Emma is a spoiled girl also very intelligent. She has gone through many nannies because she does not like them, so Emma does everything in her power to get them fired by her mother in hope of finally getting a nanny she likes. So while her new nanny flies in from London, this girl Adrianne works for Emma as her babysitter. Adrianne got this job form her best friend named Liz who works for another family that is also very wealthy who are friends with the family that she is setting Adrianne up for a job with. So as Adrianne begins to work for Emma she begins to be faced with many challenges, one being Emma's mother. Emma's mom is a very strict woman. So it turns out that Adrianne and Emma actually kind of like each other, also it turns out that Emma's  babysitter that is supposed to fly in from London is delayed so Adrianne has to stay for longer than planned.... two weeks.

2. So far I really enjoy this book. I think that the writing for this book is really amazing because its written in a way that I haven't really experienced in any other book. Its two teenagers in the book who are basically telling their lives, but mostly Adrianne. I also really like the characters in this book ho none of them are the same and I feel as though I know all of them personally. Also this book is so different from other books I have read. I have never read a book about two teen girls who are looking for jobs and being faced with the challenges of spoiled kids and lifestyles that are nothing like theirs.

3. I think that this theme so far is commitment. I think that this is the theme because Adrianne is very committed to her work and earning money for herself. Also I think that Adrianne and Liz are committed to each other because even though they go to different schools now and rarely see each other, they have been best friends from the start and will never lose that connection. Adrianne and Liz are amazingly committed to their school work, jobs, and each other which is why i think that commitment is the theme.

4. My favorite character is Liz. She is my favorite character because Liz is an amazing person with an extraordinary personality. She does everything for her friends and puts others before herself. Also Liz in my opinion is not the one who would normally be recognized as much, i think it would probably be Adrianne. Liz is my favorite character because she is everything that I would want to be in myself and a best friend. She is a role model.

5. My least favorite character is probably Emma. This is because Emma is so rude in the beginning and thinks that she is the best. I also feel that she thinks that she is the only one living, and that no one else matter. That the world revolves around her. I really do not enjoy how she acts in the beginning, and i don't like her personality very much. She is too rude. I could not imagine working for her. I think that Adrianne is extraordinary.

6. My prediction is that Adrianne is going to end up staying Emma's nanny forever. I think that Emma somehow sabotaged the nanny that was coming in from London so that she would not show up because she actually began to like Adrianne. I think that Emma and Adrianne are going to begin to really like each other even more. I also think that Emma's mom is going to realize that Emma and Adrianne likes each other and lighten up on Adrianne.
