Crims series.
The Crims--a family of the world's most inept criminals--return, but now they're disappearing one by one. It's up to young Imogen (who's actually a genius) and Crim matriarch Big Nana to find and rescue them. Are the kidnappings related to Imogen's fall from queen-bee status at her secondary school? Who is her all-too-perfect archenemy Ada Gud, really? Implausible, hilarious fun for all.

Davies swells the ranks of incorrigible children from disreputable families with her introduction of a family of (mostly unsuccessful) malfeasants and criminals. When the adults of the Crim family are wrongly imprisoned, it's up to criminal genius Imogen--who's been in hiding at Lilyworth Ladies' College--and the other Horrible Children to free them. Slapstick, fast-paced, and ridiculously entertaining, this book has superb read-aloud potential.
