Review # 1 was written on 2008-12-27 00:00:00 Hafez Hafiz This was a bit fun and very fluffy. Apparently part of a series it was fairly easy to figure out who Nutty, the main character, was. However, another significant character named William was very confusing. I never did quite figure out his age and connection. One character said William "looked 10 and talked 50." Since he was allowed to accompany 11 year old Nutty on a cross country airplane trip I assume he wasn't really 10, so I never did figure it out. Typical grade school type plot: kids picking on each other, then working it out.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-07-31 00:00:00 Brooke Sims It's interesting to read YA books written a long ago--you can see how styles have changed over time. Nurse Matilda, is an old fashioned story about a family coping with naughty children. Brand never tells you how many children they are and she changes their names frequently. Not one child is developed as a character but neither is anyone else. The parents are colorless and unremarkable except for their utter cluelessness. The servants are many and equally undistinguished. Aunt Adeliade has some spark to her as the antagonist, but she barely has a cameo. There's no exploration of Nurse Matilda's back story or mythology. I found this interesting for its place in history. I'd recommend it for that reason, but the story will bore modern readers.
