22. Unusual book

Dec 2011

Flavia is an 11-year old chemist who uses science to solve mysteries and torture her sisters. Funny and scary with some very human characters.

The book is written in the first person by Alan Bradley narrating as Flavia. Really good, and I almost always hate books written by men as fist-person females. This is the exception.

and I hope he seen writes more books about Flavia!
