A stand-alone novel tying-in to the release of the new "Nanny McPhee" film in Spring 2010, the screenplay of which Thompson also wrote. The Green family are trying to survive the war in their country house, but it isn't easy: their father is away fighting, a wicked uncle is intent on getting his hands on the family fortune, and some horrible cousins come to stay... thank heavens for Nanny McPhee! Ages: 9-11yrs.
