One of the summer reading books that I assign my students--this book has a totally charming narrator in eleven-year-old Flavia de Luce. Flavia's attempt to solve a murder mystery is engaging and enchanting!

Flavia de Luce is such a refreshing character! My english teacher recommended this book to me and never would I have imagined that it would become one of my favorites!I loved the setting, the time period, the expresions and enjoyed every moment with Miss Flavia!
Loved this book. The intelligent, 11 year old Flavia is a delight. The humor the Alan Bradley gives this child is very clever. I still find it hard to believe a man wrote this book since the relationship between Flavia and her 2 older sisters was very amusing. I really liked the predicaments Flavia gets into when trying to solve the mystery and how she talked her way out of them. Very cleaver. I am on my way to reading the second in the series. I hope Alan Bradley keeps writing them.
Fantastic book, fantastic heroine. I am already reading the second book in this series!
What a delightful mystery! I am looking forward to the next one :-)
A cute, interesting mystery. Flavia is a too smart for her own good and finds herself unable to help herself when it comes to causing trouble. Flavia and Sherlock would be the best of friends I am sure.
Cinic 11 years old: that's my crowd!
