Great summer fun

I am a elementary school librarian, and I just finished this book. It is perfect summer reading for ages 5th through 8th and above. It has all the elements kids are looking for in a book starting with humor. The main character, Justin, has just the right voice to carry the book off as he takes a job as a nanny but being a guy he is a "manny." Romance that isn't cheeseball, dialogue that is realistic, situations that seem all too real and an ending that works just as it should. A winner all the way around.
