"Knives Out feel by way of Lemony Snicket...This archly told, never
muddled debut whodunit reveals a roster of distinct characters, a
labyrinthine setting and plot, and a mystery that is as clever as
its heroine." - Publishers Weekly, starred review "The suspenseful
denouement is positively writhing with twists." -Booklist, starred
review On the day they are born, every Swift child is brought
before the sacred Family Dictionary. They are given a name, and a
definition. A definition it is assumed they will grow up to match.
Meet Shenanigan Swift: Little sister. Risk-taker. Mischief-maker.
Shenanigan is getting ready for the big Swift Family Reunion and
plotting her next great scheme: hunting for Grand-Uncle Vile's
long-lost treasure. She's excited to finally meet her arriving
relatives-until one of them gives Arch-Aunt Schadenfreude a deadly
shove down the stairs. So what if everyone thinks she'll never be
more than a troublemaker, just because of her name? Shenanigan
knows she can become whatever she wants, even a detective. And
she's determined to follow the twisty clues and catch the killer.
Deliciously suspenseful and delightfully clever, The Swifts is a
remarkable debut that is both brilliantly contemporary and
instantly classic. A celebration of words and individuality, it's
packed with games, wordplay, and lots and lots of mischief as
Shenanigan sets out to save her family and define herself in a
world where definitions are so important.
