I read a book in elementary school, but I can't remember the name. Here's a few things I can remember: A man (who already has a daughter) gets married to a goth lady with three kids. One of the new step-siblings is a little girl who can seemingly turn into a cat; the middle child is a scientist who does crazy experiments; and the oldest child is thought to be a vampire. The entire book is written from the POV of the man's daughter. In the book, the parents go off on their honeymoon and hire a military nanny who is very strict, and the kids team up to get rid of her.

That's all I can remember.

    Are there 3 kids or 4? You mention the woman's 3 kids and the man's daughter.

    And when were you in elementary school? Did the book seem new then? Was the book short or long? Were there illustrations? Do you remember anything about the cover?
