The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie: A Flavia de Luce Mystery
by Alan Bradley
I try to only give five stars to those books that really deserve it--books that I love and can't find anything in them to hate. This is one of those books.
Flavia is enchanting from the beginning. She's brilliant with a positive self-image and often made me laugh out loud. When she rhapsodizes about chemistry, she reminds me of Kip in [b:Have Space Suit-Will Travel|20417|Have Space Suit-Will Travel|Robert A. Heinlein|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1167297464s/20417.jpg|1984753] when he tries to explain the physics and mathematics behind space travel. I don't understand it even after the explanations, but I love that they're nerdy enough to try. The mystery is perfectly suited for a girl Flavia's age and her interactions with the police are fun to read. Perhaps this is how Miss Marple started.... I highly recommend this book.
