The Millicent Quibb School of Etiquette for Young Ladies of Mad Science, a delightfully chaotic and imaginative adventure for young readers.
The story centers on three eccentric sisters - Gertrude, Eugenia, and Dee-Dee Porch - who never quite fit in. They live in the prim and proper town of Antiquarium, where girls are expected to attend etiquette school and the only acceptable dogs are bichon frises. But the Porch sisters are far more interested in explosions than embroidery.
They don’t feel at home with their adoptive family either - where all their cousins are named Lavinia and their aunt owns more brooches than books. After being expelled from Mrs. Wintermacher’s etiquette academy for preferring science over manners, the sisters seem out of options.
Then, one day, they receive a mysterious invitation to a new kind of school.
Enter Millicent Quibb: a legendary mad scientist with worms in her hair, oysters in her bathtub, and a love for all things wonderfully weird. Her school, located at 231 Mysterium Way, is nothing like the girls have seen before. The pizza can be deadly, the school bus is powered by gerbils, and the Dean of Students is - a hermit crab.
The Millicent Quibb School of Etiquette for Young Ladies of Mad Science is a wildly original tale bursting with imagination, humor, and heart. It's a perfect match for readers who dream of defying expectations and embracing their inner mad genius.
