This book was one in a bag that Squeaky asked me to distribute for her. I was attracted by the title and then I saw the author and knew I had to read it. It is a very quick read and definitely for the younger set, but it was fun. Harriet discovers that she has 5 aunts she had never heard about who all have rhyming names ending in "-ica": Veronica, Harmonica, Majolica, Thessalonika, and Japonica. She uses the one special thing that she knows about each of them to track them down. It is surprisingly easy because they live fairly close together despite being separated from each other for years. There are definitely some aspects that show the books are not to be taken seriously, like the information that if someone sings while upside down, the audience must be upside down to understand the music, or the magnifying glasses that instantly translate foriegn languages. It was a bit of fluff but cute.

Thank U 6. I'm sure I will enjoy reading this YA McCall Smith book.
Another YA book by AMcS is called "The Great Cake Mystery" about a little girl named Precious who grows up to be the founder of "The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency". "The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency" series is one I've always enjoy reading.
