The Sweetness At The Bottom of the Pie
By Alan Bradley
FLAVIA! Oh how I wish I had met Miss Flavia DeLuce when I was 12. She is awesome and is the most fabulous young girl character I've ever met. In addition to spending time with someone so enjoyable, the story is very interesting. It actually revolves around stamp collecting....who knew that could be so interesting?? All of you with young daughters must present this to them for Christmas and read it together. Excellent! Another reason I so love this book is that the author is in his seventies and this is his first published work! It's never too late and that gives me hope!!
