When it comes to solving multiple mysteries, Flavia is up to the task but her true destiny has yet to be revealed.
Rumors swirl that Miss Bodycote s is haunted, and that several girls have disappeared without a trace.
Now, while attending classes, making friends (and enemies), and assessing the school s stern headmistress and faculty (one of whom is an acquitted murderess), Flavia is on the hunt for the victim s identity and time of death, as well as suspects, motives, and means.
Flavia being Flavia, a budding chemist and sleuth, that gift is a charred and mummified body, which tumbles out of a bedroom chimney.
The sun has not yet risen on Flavia s first day in captivity when a gift lands at her feet.
Banished is how twelve-year-old Flavia de Luce laments her predicament, when her father and Aunt Felicity ship her off to Miss Bodycote s Female Academy, the boarding school that her mother, Harriet, once attended across the sea in Canada.
