AA review from The Chronicle Telegram Newspaper in Elyria, Ohio
"A nanny with character" by Tony Lombardo, The Chronicle Telegram Elyria, Ohio says:
"Meet Matilda. She's 22, from London and ready to start work as a nanny. The two novels."Matilda" and "At the Skylight with Matilda" both focus on Matilda Wiggins, a London-born woman who made the trip to Ohio to study at the The English Nanny School, a real life school in Chagrin Falls, Ohio. Once she becomes a nanny, she provides a positive role model for the children she is in charge of. Phyllis is in the midst of writng her third in the series.
