Leeva is the unlucky daughter of the fame-obsessed mayor and money-hungry treasurer of Nutmore. Her parents believed having a child would bring them more fame and fortune. They were sorely mistaken. To compensate for their disappointment, Leeva is treated like their personal employee, complete with
a manual that threatens to revoke her vacation time as punishment for disobedience. The joke is on them, since Leeva is restricted from leaving the house in the first place.
All her life she’s been cooking and bookkeeping for her parents without ever experiencing the outside world. When her request to attend school is rejected, Leeva sets out to explore the next best thing: the local library next door. There, she learns the importance of people, books, and fresh baked cookies despite the greedy cynicism of her parents.
If you love Roald Dahl’s Matilda, leave a space for this funny, feel-good chapter book this new school year! For ages 8 and up.
