Review:
I only picked this book up as it was a winner in the 2011 Goodreads Choice Awards and I'm doing a challenge based on that list. (See challenge here). I think I might have enjoyed this more when I was a teenager. At this stage of my life, I found it rather childish and unbelievable. The heroine is an 11 year-old girl after all. There was so much miscellaneous information (Flavia is a self-proclaimed know-it-all) that I totally lost track of the mystery and had difficultly keeping in mind who/what/why she was chasing clues anyway.
