New York Times bestselling author Patrick Carman delivers a modern
reimagining of the classic Mary Poppins tale in this story about
family, grief, and healing--with a dash of magic!
Stanley Darrow isn't sure what to expect when the mysterious Mr. Gedrick
appears on his doorstep. He is certain, however, that his family could
use Mr. Gedrick's help: Their lives--and their house--have been a mess
since Stanley's dad died.
The strange new nanny quickly helps them transform their cluttered home
into a sparkling and spotless version of its former self, but it's going
to take more than a clean house to help the Darrow family learn to live
and love again.
Can Mr. Gedrick help Stanley, his brother, Fergus, his sister, Amelia,
and his mom find their way back to each other? And what secrets of his
own is Mr. Gedrick hiding behind his crooked grin?
