NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER â€¢Â Flavia de Luceâ€”â€œpart Harriet the Spy, part Violet Baudelaire from Lemony Snicketâ€™s A Series of Unfortunate Eventsâ€ (The New York Times Book Review)â€”takes her remarkable sleuthing prowess to the unexpectedly unsavory world of Canadian boarding schools in this captivating mystery.

Banished! is how twelve-year-old Flavia de Luce laments her predicament, when her father and Aunt Felicity ship her off to Miss Bodycoteâ€™s Female Academy, the boarding school that her mother, Harriet, once attended across the sea in Canada. The sun has not yet risen on Flaviaâ€™s first day in captivity when a gift lands at her feet. Flavia being Flavia, a budding chemist and sleuth, that gift is a charred and mummified body, which tumbles out of a bedroom chimney. Now, while attending classes, making friends (and enemies), and assessing the schoolâ€™s stern headmistress and faculty (one of whom is an acquitted murderess), Flavia is on the hunt for the victimâ€™s identity and time of death, as well as suspects, motives, and means. Rumors swirl that Miss Bodycoteâ€™s is haunted, and that several girls have disappeared without a trace. When it comes to solving multiple mysteries, Flavia is up to the taskâ€”but her true destiny has yet to be revealed.

Praise for As Chimney Sweepers Come to Dust

â€œFlavia de Luce [is] perhaps contemporary crime fictionâ€™s most original characterâ€”to say she is Pippi Longstocking with a Ph.D. in chemistry (speciality: poisons) barely begins to describe her.â€â€”Macleanâ€™s

â€œAnother treat for readers of all ages . . . [As Chimney Sweepers Come to Dust] maintains the high standards Bradley set from the start.â€â€”Booklist

â€œExceptional . . . [The] intriguing setup only gets better, and Bradley makes Miss Bodycoteâ€™s a suitably Gothic setting for Flaviaâ€™s sleuthing. Through it all, her morbid narrative voice continues to charm.â€â€”Publishers Weekly (starred review)

â€œEven after all these years, Flavia de Luce is still the worldâ€™s greatest adolescent British chemist/busybody/sleuth.â€â€”The Seattle Times

â€œPlot twists come faster than Canadian snowfall. . . . Bradleyâ€™s sense of observation is as keen as gung-ho scientist Flaviaâ€™s. . . . The results so far are seven sparkling Flavia de Luce mysteries.â€â€”Library Journal
