Ella and her neighbors on Poppy Hill are back with more mischief and bighearted fun!
The apartment house on Poppy Hill is inhabited by residents who are as much family as they are neighbors. Luckily, nine-year-old Ella is there to help everyone through all their ups and downs. She knows about the glitchy lights, the nighttime noises, the secret spaces, and each neighbor’s hopes and dreams. She even knows the mysterious Robinsons, who live on the top floor and are now her silent partners in making sure that the apartment house is the
perfect place to live.
Highlighted by lively illustrations throughout, the second book in the Ella Josephine series by bestselling author Nina La Cour celebrates community, friendship, family, and home. It is a place of noticing the small details that make a difference, keeping surprises secret, and making everyone feel welcome. Here, the eccentric joy of Armistead Maupin’s
Tales of The City merges seamlessly with the antic fun of
Ivy + Bean, the family tenderness of
The Penderwicks, and the madcap adventure of
Eloise in an irresistible book that will leave readers eager for the next one!
