Janet's Selections

Janet selected these books to let everyone know that she reads much more than just children's books. Although, there are a few kids books on her list...not there's anything wrong with that. (Janet is seen here, reading a young adult novel while on the clock.)

Meet Flavia De Luce, 11-year old genius, amateur chemist, and full-time sleuth. Cozily plotted in the English countryside at Buckshaw, the family manse, and set right after WWII, this charming and often hilarious mystery has more bite than you might think. Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie is one part Nancy Drew, one part Agatha Christie, with a big dash of Sherlock Holmes. Read it and enjoy it! -Janet
