The Weed that Strings the Hangmans Bag author, Alan Bradley, talks about his 11-year-old protagonist and why we should pay more attention to our youth.
As I picked this off the shelf I thought, mehhhh.....probably another catcher title with a zzzzzzz storyline, but i was so wrong. This was truly a dark tale with a refreshing cast of characters. Flavia, the 11 year old genius had my attention from the start. Her slanted humor and an eye for crime made for a very fun read.
Loved this book. Nice change to have a girl as the crime sleuth. I will be buying and reading the other 2 in the series now.
