As Chimney Sweepers Come to Dust by Alan Bradley

I was super excited that Flavia was in boarding school. This was a chance for her to be around more like-minded individuals and experience some serious childhood shenanigans. Moments of growing up. Overall, more realistic experiences than what was had in Bishop's Lacey.

The beginning promised Flavia finding some wonderful companions and character development until a switch was flipped somewhere in the narrative, and it all became about Flavia missing home. She was meeting inspirational people, learning fascinating subjects she would never be exposed to in a rural village, and even getting to investigate a murder.

Somehow Flavia completely lost her way, became a sleep deprived nincompoop, and regressed in maturity. I was ever so disappointed when she chose to go back home. She never really gave boarding school a chance.
