Violet was reckless. She didn't care about life and she thought it was a waste of time to go to school. She got expelled from so many schools that no school excepted her and she had to be home schooled. Even her parents hate her so they hired a nanny for her. Her parents left on vacation for a LONG time and now Violet is stuck with the tuffest, nastiest nanny in the country. (The book has nothing to do with cookies lol)
