reviewed on + 2 more book reviews


An unusual mystery series, in that the main character is a precocious ll-yr. old girl with an affinity for chemistry, especially poisons. She's forever found with a dirty face and clothes, trying to evade her sisters who torture her every chance they get, and frustrating the police with her constant meddling. She still manages to come up with the answers and usually gets to the bad guy before they do. A fun read!
