    In this middle-grade fantasy adventure, an orphan must embark on a magical journey to bestow gifts on her aunts, or else her community is doomed. Bronte Mettlestone is 10 years old when her parents are killed by pirates.  This does not bother her particularly: Her parents ran away to have adventures when she was a baby. She has been raised by her Aunt Isabelle, with assistance from the Butler, and has spent a pleasant childhood of afternoon teas and riding lessons.  Now, however, her parents have left detailed instructions for Bronte in their will. (Instructions that, annoyingly, have been reinforced with faery cross-stitch, which means that if she doesn't complete them, terrible things could happen!) She travels the kingdoms, perfectly alone, delivering gifts to 10 other aunts: a farmer aunt who owns an orange orchard, a veterinarian aunt who specializes in dragon care, a pair of aunts who captain a cruise ship, and a former rock star aunt who is now the reigning monarch of a small kingdom.  But as she travels from aunt to aunt, Bronte suspects there might be more to this journey than the simple delivery of treasure. Praise for The Extremely Inconvenient Adventures of Bronte Mettlestone“A high-spirited tale of adventure and magic.” —Booklist“The back-to-back adventures make for a speedy plot that will keep readers turning the pages.” —Publishers Weekly“Imaginative.” —Kirkus Reviews
