As Chimney Sweepers Come to Dust by Alan Bradley

(read aloud)

Though we've pronounced Flavia's name wrong through all these books, we are getting to know her better. Attending her mother's old school in Canada, she has instant notoriety, though we don't know precisely why. Minutes after she arrives she is embroiled in a murder mystery. Most of the story is foggy and vague, reflecting her unsettled state in a new country and a new school.

I wouldn't recommend this as a first Flavia read but I wouldn't miss any myself.
