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."-- Provided by publisher Families Juvenile fiction 6237 Magic Juvenile fiction 6106 Private investigators Juvenile fiction 13474 Fate and fatalism Juvenile fiction 13475 Detective and mystery stories 3067 Family life Fiction 7104 Magic Juvenile fiction 6106 Private investigators Fiction 10 Fate and fatalism Fiction 13476 Mystery and detective stories 1604 JUVENILE FICTION / Books & Libraries. bisacsh 13477 JUVENILE FICTION / Thrillers & Suspense. bisacsh 13478 JUVENILE FICTION / Social Themes / Values & Virtues. bisacsh 13479 Fantasy fiction. lcgft 1554 Detective and mystery fiction. lcgft 485 Action and adventure fiction. lcgft 613 Fiction. lcgft 48 Powell, Claire, illustrator 13480 .b178477497 ddc BOOK 28799 28799 ddc 0 0 ABELJ ABELJ YA 2023-05-09 17.99 1 YA LINC 64285 2023-08-17 2023-07-11 2023-05-09 BOOK 1
