New Book... Finnaly

So in my earlier posts I kept saying I was going to start a comedy book and I am proud to say I didn't go through with it. I decided to take baby steps instead. My new book is called The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie. This is still historical fiction but it is a mystery. So ha! I am branching out a little. Really the only reason I chose this book was because my mom said I would like it. The only reason ?I listened is because she has steered me in the right direction for books before so I'll give it a try.

From what I can tell by reading the synopsis is it is about some genius 11-year-old girl named Flavia de Luce. Now that's a name! Anyway she is an aspiring chemist who likes poisoning things. A tween who can poison things can probably be pretty destructive. It is set in the British countryside in the 1950's and the story is sparked when her mansion called Buckshaw. Its not the prettiest mansion and is decaying. So there mansion is sent a dead bird with a postage stamp on the beak through the mail. I don't know about you but that would be creepy. Then Flavia finds a dying man in the yard telling her to save her father from jail. It sounds pretty good. I'll do an updated post when I am like 30 pages in or so.
