Gertrude, Eugenia, and Dee-Dee Porch donot belong—not in the town of Antiquarium, nor with their adoptive family, and certainly not in Mrs. Wintermacher’s etiquette school. And then they are invited to join Millicent Quibb’s infamous academy for mad science, and they at last find their place. Soon the sisters are asked to save their town from an evil cabal of nefarious mad scientists, and to do so, they must learn to embrace what has always made them stand out—those very qualities that pegged them as outcasts and weirdoes are what’s needed to save the day.
As hilarious as it is singularly original, The Millicent Quibb School of Etiquette for Young Ladies of Mad Science is for every weird kid (or weird adult!) who ever longed to find their place in the world.
