Summary
Since her mother died when she was just a baby, eleven-year-old Esmie decides to take matters into her own hands to get herself a mother and new wife for her father, despite his busy schedule and lack of interest in such matters. Reprint.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Eleven-year-old Esmie is on the hunt for a new mum. Her own mother died when she was just a baby, and her father is still heartbroken over it. Plus he works far too much and hasn’t gone out in ages. By Esmie’s reckoning he needs help—whether he’s asked for it or not.

So Esmie, her older brother Matthew, and their French nanny, Juliette, place an advert in the Lonely Hearts column of the newspaper. But what they’re looking for and what Esmie’s father is looking for might not be the same thing. Just whose hunt is this anyway?
