The critically lauded, wickedly smart whodunit with a ?Knives Out feel by way of Lemony Snicket,? now in paperback. 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.
