Jane, Unlimited by Kristin Cashore, 442 pages

Jane, Unlimited focuses on Jane, who has just dropped out of college after her aunt/guardian's death. While working in the campus bookstore, she runs into her former tutor, the wealthy Kiran Thrash. Before she died, Jane's Aunt Magnolia made her promise that if she was ever invited to Tu Reviens, Kiran's eccentric island home, she would go. When Kiran invites her to a gala her family hosts every year at their house, Jane remembers her promise, packs her things, and goes, and in the process steps into a half dozen mysteries.

Jane must choose which mystery she wants to unravel, and it is that decision that unlocks unlimited possibilities, including quantum mechanics, missing stepmothers, sentient houses, talking dogs, art theft, spies, carefully constructed artistic umbrellas, miniature velociraptors, and pirates dressed like sad clowns.

It is weird, and it is wonderful.
