Rich Girls (Confessions of a Teen Nanny #2) - Softcover

Grade 8 Up–Its payback time! and Adrienne and Liz, the nannies from Confessions of a Teen Nanny (HarperCollins, 2005), are back with an agenda. (Those who missed the first book are quickly brought up to speed in this installment.) Wicked Cameron, the beautiful, conniving, socialite half-sister of Emma, Adriennes charge, has stolen Adriennes boyfriend. While she schemes to win him back, her friend Liz, who works for a psychiatrist who treats her children like research subjects, has attracted the attention of one of societys spoiled, pampered, handsome, yet fickle drones. Is he just slumming with Liz while he wines and dines other girls? The teens are granted the perfect opportunity to settle some scores, and their plans fall neatly into place. Fast-paced and entertaining, the antics of these nannies are a lighter alternative to Cecily von Ziegesars Gossip Girl series or Zoey Deans A-List series (both Little, Brown). The usual filler is present–drugs, drinking, absentee parents, and allusions to sex–but is not overly glamorized. The ending clearly indicates that another book is forthcoming.–Erin Senig, Bronxville Public Library, NY
