BONUS: This edition includes “The Curious Case of the Copper Corpse: A Flavia de Luce Story.” Banished! is how twelve-year-old Flavia de Luce laments her predicament, when her father and Aunt Felicity ship her off to Miss Bodycote’s Female Academy, the boarding school that her mother, Harriet, once attended across the sea in Canada. The sun has not yet risen on Flavia’s first day in captivity when a gift lands at her feet. Flavia being Flavia, a budding chemist and sleuth, that gift is a charred and mummified body, which tumbles out of a bedroom chimney. Now, while attending classes, making friends (and enemies), and assessing the school’s stern headmistress and faculty (one of whom is an acquitted murderess), Flavia is on the hunt for the victim’s identity and time of death, as well as suspects, motives, and means. Rumors swirl that Miss Bodycote’s is haunted, and that several girls have disappeared without a trace. When it comes to solving multiple mysteries, Flavia is up to the task—but her true destiny has yet to be revealed. Praise for As Chimney Sweepers Come to Dust “Flavia de Luce [is] perhaps contemporary crime fiction’s most original character—to say she is Pippi Longstocking with a Ph.D. in chemistry (speciality: poisons) barely begins to describe her.” — Maclean’s “Another treat for readers of all ages . . . [ As Chimney Sweepers Come to Dust ] maintains the high standards Bradley set from the start.” — Booklist “Exceptional . . . [The] intriguing setup only gets better, and Bradley makes Miss Bodycote’s a suitably Gothic setting for Flavia’s sleuthing. Through it all, her morbid narrative voice continues to charm.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review) “Even after all these years, Flavia de Luce is still the world’s greatest adolescent British chemist/busybody/sleuth.” — The Seattle Times “Plot twists come faster than Canadian snowfall. . . . Bradley’s sense of observation is as keen as gung-ho scientist Flavia’s. . . . The results so far are seven sparkling Flavia de Luce mysteries.” — Library Journal Review: Flavia conquers Canada! - When we left Flavia (first syllable rhymes with grave) at the end of the last book, she had just buried her mother after finding out that her mother had been involved in intelligence work during WWII; Flavia was being sent to Canada to her mother's boarding school to continue her education, with the enticement that an alleged poisoner is a chemistry teacher. This book picks up with Flavia's departure from England and her arrival at Miss Bodycote's Female Academy. Within hours of Flavia's arrival, a body wrapped in the Union Jack falls out of the chimney in her bedroom, hence beginning her life in the new school. Mystery and adventures ensue! Who's to be trusted, who's lying and ... who's the body? While this isn't a good introduction to the Flavia De Luce series, it was a ripping fun read. It was great to see Flavia navigating through the social strata and mores of a girls boarding school. Flavia is very intelligent and has an innate love of drama, so her interactions with fellow students were particularly amusing. I love this series and I especially enjoyed this addition. As always, I look forward to Flavia's next adventures. Review: Flavia is growing up! - The seventh entry in this series finds Flavia de Luce traveling from her beloved home, Buckshaw, across the ocean to Canada to enroll in Miss Bodycote’s Female Academy. This situation is seen as a banishment by Flavia, as she will no longer see her beloved father, Dogger, Gladys (her bicycle), and even her sisters/tormentors, Ophelia and Daphne. Much has unfolded in Flavia’s life, and it is helpful if the reader has read at least The Dead in Their Vaulted Arches, so the current events make sense. Flavia has learned about the connections some of her family members hold in the history of England, and she is now part of these connections. Her inauspicious arrival at Miss Bodycote’s is colored by the discovery of a body stuffed in the chimney of her room. The other girls at the school, as well as the staff and faculty, exhibit cryptic behavior so that Flavia is never sure who can be trusted. According to at least one other student as well as the headmistress, no one should be trusted. While coping with feelings of homesickness, Flavia tries to fit in at Bodycote’s, tries to attend classes, and most of all, tries to determine her true purpose for being there. As always, Alan Bradley has a wonderful way with words. I always know that when I pick up one of his books, I will not want to put it down until it is finished. This book has just been published, but I am ready for the next one! The ending has piqued my interest, so I hope Mr. Bradley is hard at work on Flavia’s next adventure! I highly recommend this series! I received this from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #145,881 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,116 in Historical Thrillers (Books) #2,598 in Amateur Sleuths #2,751 in Murder Thrillers | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 4,495 Reviews | ## Images ![As Chimney Sweepers Come to Dust: A Flavia de Luce Novel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71lr9kEZ4tL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Flavia conquers Canada! *by M***R on January 12, 2015* When we left Flavia (first syllable rhymes with grave) at the end of the last book, she had just buried her mother after finding out that her mother had been involved in intelligence work during WWII; Flavia was being sent to Canada to her mother's boarding school to continue her education, with the enticement that an alleged poisoner is a chemistry teacher.
