Gertrude, Eugenia, and Dee-Dee Porch do not belong. They don’t belong
in the snooty town of Antiquarium, where the only dog allowed is the
bichon frise. They don’t belong with their adoptive family, where all
their cousins are named Lavinia. And after getting kicked out of the
last etiquette school that would take them, the girls expect to be sent
away for good… until they receive a mysterious invitation.
Suddenly the girls are under the tutelage of the infamous Millicent
Quibb – a mad scientist with worms in her hair and oysters in her
bathtub. Dangerous? Yes! More fun than they’ve ever had? Absolutely!
But when the sisters are asked to save their town from an evil cabal of
mad scientists, they must learn to embrace what has always made them
stand out – before it’s too late!
Perfect for fans of Roald Dahl and Lemony Snicket’s A Series of
Unfortunate Events, The Millicent Quibb School of Etiquette for Young
Ladies of Mad Science is the unbelievably hilarious, madcap adventure
debut from comedic superstar Kate McKinnon – an unforgettable and
laugh-out-loud funny story, and a warm-hearted celebration of
individuality, imagination, and eccentricity.
From beloved Saturday Night Live alum Kate McKinnon comes a madcap new
adventure about three sisters, a ravenous worm, and a mysterious mad
scientist.
So, you want to be a young mad scientist. Congratulations! Admitting it
is the first step. The second step is reading the (definitely true)
tale of the Porch sisters…
Gertrude, Eugenia, and Dee-Dee Porch do not belong. They don’t belong
in the snooty town of Antiquarium, where all girls have to go to
etiquette school and the only dog allowed is the bichon frise. They
don’t belong with their adoptive family, where all their cousins are
named Lavinia and their Aunt has more brooches than books. And they
certainly don’t belong at Mrs. Wintermacher’s etiquette school—they’re
far more interested in science. After getting kicked out of the last
etiquette school that would take them, the girls expect to be sent away
for good... until they receive a mysterious invitation to new school.
Suddenly the girls are under the tutelage of the infamous Millicent
Quibb—a mad scientist with worms in her hair and oysters in her
bathtub. At 231 Mysterium Way, the pizza is fatal, the bus is powered
by Gerbils, and the Dean of Students is a hermit crab. Dangerous?
Yes! More fun than they’ve ever had? Absolutely! But when the sisters
are asked to save their town from an evil cabal of nefarious mad
scientists, they must learn to embrace what has always made them stand
out, and determine what side they’re on—before it’s too late!
