Events › Middle Readers Online Book Group - "Swifts: A Dictionary of Scoundrels" by Beth Lincoln

Celebrate the love of reading with others in our community. The Middle Readers Online Book Group  meets on the fourth Wednesday of each month at 5:00 p.m.  For tweens/teens in 5th to 8th grade.

This month's selection is The Swifts by Beth Lincoln

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.
