Marmaduke is missing! Once again, Emma has forgotten to put her ferret back in his cage. And with four brothers and sisters and a poodle who chases Marmaduke around the house, Emma finds herself in the middle of this and other family dilemmas. If only she can prove to her parents that she’s responsible, then maybe they’ll let her join the traveling soccer team. When Annie, the new nanny, arrives, Emma feels she’s found someone who’s on her side. Annie’s the coolest nanny ever, but will Mom and Daddy let her stay? Or will they fire her, as they have so many of the other nannies?

About the Author

Author Patricia Hermes has lots of ideas for Emma’s dilemmas after raising five children of her own. She lives in Fairfield, Connecticut, and is a frequent speaker at schools and conferences around the country.

Illustrator Abby Carter has drawn all of her life. When she was eleven, she and her grandmother had a card business: Abby drew, and her grandmother sold. In college she studied art, but also liked science and nutrition, and wished there was a way to combine it all. Several years later, after she was married and had a daughter, she and her husband founded Fresh Samantha, the juice company, which fulfilled that dream. In addition to her graphics for Fresh Samantha, she has illustrated many picture books and chapter books for children. She says that she loves to draw odd characters, and hates to draw straight lines. Abby lives with her husband and two children in Connecticut.

    This was a very good chapter book for my grandkids ages 5 & 8. They loved all the adventures and situations Emma got herself into. Will most likely order other books in the series.

    Amazon Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
    Emma Dilemma and the New Nanny is the first book in the series and we are introduced to Emma and her family. Five children, a pilot father, a mother that works from home and a brand new nanny.

    Emma is working on her responsibility skills. Marmaduke the ferret has once again gone missing. The last time, Emma's mother swore that the critter would go back to the pet store if it happened again, so Emma is trying to stealth-ily find the troublemakers before her parents do. Easier said than done when her mother wakes up screaming because something is in her mattress.

    Marmaduke cannot be sent away, Emma has a report due for school and the ferret is the main attraction. Not only does she have the report riding on this, but also if Emma does not start showing more responsibility, she will not be able to join the soccer team.

    Oh, what is she to do? In steps Annie the new nanny, and hopefully, Emma will learn her lessons and Annie will be able to survive the upheavals of this family and not be sent away like all the previous nannies.

    As I said, I am not sure if I liked this book or not. I have to put my mind back into secondary type reading books and think like an advancing reader. For a third plus grade reader, this book was good. There were challenges and tricky sentences, but that is what is needed for budding readers. The message - still not so sure.

    The story was a bit jumbled and erratic, but then again, maybe that is the feeling that Patricia Hermes was trying to put across. Raising a houseful of children can be crazy and sometimes the calming influence of an outsider is what is needed. Other than one conversation between Emma and her father, I did not see Emma's parents playing a very instrumental role in their children's lives and I think that is what is bothering me the most after finishing this book.

    Maybe the future books will put the family in a different light, but for now, I am on the fence about this series.
