Helpful Score: 1

Flavia the main character of this book is in fact a very interesting eleven year old. Calling her precocious alone would not describe her adequately. She is definitely the truly one reason to keep a reader interested in this book as the "mystery" gets quite bogged down in places, and the circumstances become mundane. She has a very active imagination that stems from her interest in "chemistry". The book uses dry British wit and humor, and reading finally flows toward the end of the book.
I would not label it a page-turner, but it is an entertaining read.
