Eleanor and Solly
Blande are just like any other kids – except, they can

and they don’t like it when their parents go on vacation
without them. It just so happens that when their parents
take a trip to Italy, and the children are taken care
of by Nanny of the Year, Mrs. Leer, that their nemesis
Kaspar Snit comes back onto the scene, more evil than
ever. Forbidden from flying and revealing their family’s
secrets to Mrs. Leer, can the children defeat Kaspar
by themselves?
