Vinner av Kulturdepartementets barne -og ungdomspris for beste oversettelse 2023, og Barnes&Nobels barnebokpris våren 2023! Spilloppa Swift tror ikke på skjebnen. Hva så om slektningene hennes tror hun er forutbestemt til å bli en urokråke, bare på grunn av navnet? Spilloppa vet at hun kan bli akkurat hva hun vil - pirat, oppdager, eller til og med detektiv. Og godt er det, for når en i Familien prøver å myrde grandtante Schadenfreude, må noen finne ut hvem som er skurken. Med hjelp av søstrene og en slektning, tar Spilloppa på seg saken, men flere mord, en skjult skatt og en haug med mistenkte gjør alt veldig komplisert. Og i en Familie hvor definisjoner er så viktige, kan hun lære å definere seg selv? Familien Swift har ligger på NY Times bestselgerliste siden utgivelsen i mars 2023, og har blitt oversatt til 14 språk.

I familien Swift navngives nyfødte børn på en særlig måde: Et opslag i en ordbog giver navn og definition. En definition, som familien mener, vil matche barnets personlighed. Unode Swift har et hemmeligt projekt. Et storstilet forsøg på at kortlægge enhver passage, alle skjulte døre og gange i familiens palæ. Kortet viser sig at være ganske belejligt at have, da tante Schadenfreude bliver forsøgt myrdet, og nogen må finde ud af hvem i huset, der står bag. Unode påtager sig opgaven, men flere mord, en skjult skat og en række sære spor gør sagen mere og mere mystisk. Om forfatteren:Beth Lincoln (hun/hende, de/dem) har altid elsket etymologi og klassiske mordgåder, og det var kombinationen, der skaffede hende en plads på Penguin Random House WriteNow-skriveholdet med manuskriptet til hendes prisvindende debut, Familien Swift, der kommer som familiefilm på Netflix.
