With the help of her half-sister Esmerelda and best friend Lavender, Matilda Wormwood must solve the mystery of Zinnia Wormwood's murder, rescue her useless brother, and stop a tyrannical superintendent from terrorizing her city's schools. In the wake of her own grief over a personal loss, she will try not to lose herself in the process. A random fanfic.
