From Matt Lieberman, the writer behind the hit Ryan Reynolds movie Free Guy, comes Mr. Grieves, an action-packed, antic-filled middle grade novel about a mysterious, unorthodox nanny who encourages his kids to do anything but follow the rules.
When Victoria and Ozzy’s mom, the famous child behavioralist Anna Gray, disappears without a word, Victoria can’t help but think it’s all her fault. So Victoria does what so many children have tried to do: she commits herself to being perfect in the hope that her excellent behavior will win her mother back. If she can just get into the extra-elite Wheaton Prep School, mom would have to return!
