The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie


"My particular passion is poison."
An 11 year old girl in England who loves chemistry and libraries? Sign me up! I thoroughly enjoyed this book--especially the chemistry parts. I know that may be a turn off to normal people but I only masquerade as one. And I must say that Flavia impressed me with her knowledge (she specializes in poisons)--and I have a Chemistry minor. Beyond all of that Flavia's adventures as she sleuths for the person who murdered the man she found in her family's cucumber garden are entertaining, and make for a great read.
