Beth Lincoln's The Swifts: A Dictionary of Scoundrels
This was a cute middle-grade mystery about a large eccentric family where everyone is named after a random word from the dictionary, and our main character is Shenanigan, so you know she’s getting up to hijinks. This book does get kind of dark—some people are actually murdered—which I was kind of surprised by! But lots of fun characters (lots of queer characters!) and I loved the relationships between the main character and her sisters. Looks like this is the start of a series, and I’ll probably be reading the next one. A-/B+.
