Nothing to See Here

Nothing to See Here is by Kevin Wilson. An interesting realistic fiction novel with more than a smattering of magical realism. Lillian and Madison were roommates in a very exclusive boarding school, until Lillian is expelled. Their lives have diverged, but they have remained in touch as pen pals. Then Lillian receives a letter from Madison asking for her help. She is married to a senator, whose previous wife has killed herself. The twins from this former marriage are now coming to live with their father and Madison wants Lillian to come work for her as their governess - only there's a little problem with the kids - they spontaneously combust when they are upset. This is a very interesting novel and a fun read, even though you finish wishing for a little more.

Ratings: 11th grade - 8 out of 10 - P (profanity) - AC (some mature thematic content).
