The book Matilda is inspirational. It's great for teens to grandparents and follows three families and their everday lives. The settings are set in Twinsburg, Miami Florida, and London.
The characters are real, and all have something to share with Matilda. She is not the average nanny; she loves the children and is a good nanny.
Through Matilda, readers will see what she feels about America and what it is to be a nanny.

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.
The 'Matilda' series by Phyllis Levine is an awesome series that will keep you turning the pages. Mrs. Levine has a way of bringing you into the story and making you feel as if you know the characters personally. I highly recommend this series and can't wait for the fourth book!
