Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

A hilarious new mystery adventure perfect for fans of Robin Stevens and Lemony Snicket.

On the day they are born, each Swift is brought before the sacred Family Dictionary. They are given a name and a definition, and it is assumed they will grow up to match. Unfortunately, Shenanigan Swift has other ideas.

So what if her relatives all think she's destined to turn out as a troublemaker, just because of her name? Shenanigan knows she can be whatever she wants - pirate, explorer or even detective.

Which is lucky, really, because when one of the Family tries to murder Arch-Aunt Schadenfreude, someone has to work out whodunit.

With the help of her sisters and cousin, Shenanigan grudgingly takes on the case, but more murders, a hidden treasure and an awful lot of suspects make thing seriously complicated.

Can Shenanigan catch the killer before the whole household is picked off? And in a Family where definitions are so important, can she learn to define herself?

Reviews

Deliciously, quirkily Gothic This witty, imaginative entry deserves a prominent space on the MG shelf. A delightful pick for sharp readers enamoured of gothic sensibilities and clever prose A stunning debut . . . This is an exquisitely written book about identity and wordplay that's as warm, masterful and up-to-date as it is laugh-out-loud funny. Gothic mystery brimming with bonkers characters and boundless energy A mystery that is as clever and impish as its heroine An absolutely delightful debut A witty confection of highly colourful characters Murder most splendid in this ghoulish debut A fun read with diverse characters and an enticing setting.
