2021 book 250

 Jaclyn Moriarty's The Extremely Inconvenient Adventures of Bronte Mettlestone

A fourth book in Moriarty's very fun middle grade series just came out, so why not reread the first three for funsies? Moriarty is one of my favorite authors and this book is funny, action packed, moving, and clever. It centers on the titular ten-year-old Bronte, whose parents have been off adventuring her whole life, only now they’ve been killed by pirates, and now their will sends her on a journey across various kingdoms to deliver gifts to her many aunts (and have adventures along the way). Just a really fun read with a great narrative voice.
