The Crims
The Crims | Kate Davies
2 posts | 3 read | 3 to read
The Addams Family meets Despicable Me in the first book of this new trilogy, perfect for fans of Lemony Snicket and Pseudonymous Bosch! The Crim family is full of notorious criminals. Notoriously inept, that is. Uncle Knuckles once tried to steal a carnival. Great-Uncle Bernard held himself hostage by accident. Aunt Drusilla died slipping on a banana peel. But Imogen is different. She was born with a skill for scandal. A knack for the nefarious. A mastery of misdemeanors. Despite her natural talent for all things unlawful, Imogen got out of the family business years ago. But when the rest of the Crims are accused of pulling off a major heistwhich seems doubtful, to say the leastImogen is forced to step in to clear their names. Because only a truly skilled criminal can prove the bumbling familys innocence.

Mehso-so

TLDR: Young girl attempts to break out of the family business, Crime, and fails by pulling of a heist.

Good:
Strong female character
Good reader
Funny turns of phrase

Bad:
Feels derivative
The whole crime thing is odd

For the Adamms family lovers amongst us #elementary #humor #kidlit #mystery #whodunit

Enjoying the snow day! 📚 I‘ve already shoveled twice, but making time to read today!

“Keep your enemies close, your family closer, and your friends in a dungeon.” - Big Nana

A quirky and funny read for those who are fans of Lemony Snicket‘s A Series of Unfortunate Events, or the Addams Family!
