The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie by Alan Bradley
5.0
Just an amazing book with a fascinating main character. Flavia de Luce is like no other 11 year year old though in my mind she shares some traits with Vendetta from the Making Fiends web show.
The book description is actually accurate and presents a faithful representation of what you get in the book (surprise, surprise). What I will add is that the actual character development in the book goes well beyond a thin veneer and you gain a lot of insight into Flavia over the course of the book. While the rest of the characters are not necessarily paper-thin, they are not the main focus and serve really as foils for Flavia to interact with.
I'm really looking forward to reading other books in the series.
