What to expect
From beloved Saturday Night Live alum Kate McKinnon comes a madcap new adventure about three sisters, a ravenous worm, and a mysterious mad scientist.
“Brilliant” – KATHERINE RUNDELL
“This book upsets me. It frightens me. I cannot wait to read it again.” – LEMONY SNICKET, author of A Series of Unfortunate Events
“An enjoyable reminder that what makes you weird may also make you a winner” – THE TIMES, Children's Book of the Week
Gertrude, Eugenia, and Dee-Dee Porch do not belong. They don’t belong in the snooty town of Antiquarium, where the only dog allowed is the bichon frise. They don’t belong with their adoptive family, where all their cousins are named Lavinia. And after getting kicked out of the last etiquette school that would take them, the girls expect to be sent away for good… until they receive a mysterious invitation.
Suddenly the girls are under the tutelage of the infamous Millicent Quibb – a mad scientist with worms in her hair and oysters in her bathtub. Dangerous? Yes! More fun than they’ve ever had? Absolutely! But when the sisters are asked to save their town from an evil cabal of mad scientists, they must learn to embrace what has always made them stand out – before it’s too late!
Perfect for fans of Roald Dahl and Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events, The Millicent Quibb School of Etiquette for Young Ladies of Mad Science is the unbelievably hilarious, madcap adventure debut from comedic superstar Kate McKinnon – an unforgettable and laugh-out-loud funny story, and a warm-hearted celebration of individuality, imagination, and eccentricity.

“Kate’s quirky and unforgettable characters…will have readers laughing out loud and plotting experiments for many generations to come.” – CHRIS COLFER, author of The Land of Stories
“Kids will eat this up! Unless a ravenous worm eats them first! Give them this book and a decent head start!” – TRENTON LEE STEWART, author of The Mysterious Benedict Society
“Fiercely feisty and unapologetically goofy” – Kirkus
“McKinnon celebrates weirdness in this ludicrous and unpredictable female-centered romp … Madcap misadventures ensue within a plot that’s loaded with self-aware asides and wry humor” – Publishers Weekly
