Jaclyn Moriarty's The Extremely Inconvenient Adventures of Bronte Mettlestone
Jasmine Guillory recommended this in her most recent newsletter, which of course both delighted me and made me want to reread it (not that I ever really need an excuse to reread something by Moriarty, who is probably my favorite/most comforting author). Anyway, this is a very charming middle grade book about a ten year old girl whose parents have been off adventuring her entire life, only now they’ve been killed by pirates, and their will is making her travel all around delivering gifts to her many aunts. Adventures ensue, along with cousins, aspiring circus performers, mysterious paintings, a little bit of magic, and more. So good.
