Synopsis

Award-winning, bestselling author Sara Pennypacker and illustrator Matthew Cordell come together in this hilarious absurdist tale about a precocious girl who transforms her community in surprising ways.

What are people for?

That’s the burning question on the mind of Leeva Spayce Thornblossom.

Fame! says Leeva’s mom, the mayor of Nutsmore.

Money! says her dad, the town treasurer.

With the help of an orphaned badger, a risk-averse boy in a hazmat suit, and the town's librarians, Leeva sets off to discover her own answer—setting off a chain of events that will change Nutsmore forever.

Can one curious girl and her band of quirky friends prove that people are for more than just money and fame?

• A Quirky Found Family: With the help of a kind librarian, a boy in a hazmat suit, and an orphaned badger named Bob, Leeva discovers that family is something you build.
• The Power of Books and Libraries: Leeva’s whole world opens up when she steps into the Nutsmore Public Library, a magical place full of stories, cookies, and answers to life’s biggest questions.
• Laugh-Out-Loud Humor: Filled with absurd situations and a town run by the most ridiculous parents imaginable, this story will have kids and adults laughing together.
• A Hero to Cheer For: Despite being neglected by her parents, Leeva’s unstoppable curiosity and kindness are the sparks that will change Nutsmore forever.
• For Fans of Modern Classics: Perfect for readers who love the wit of Roald Dahl, the heart of Kate DiCamillo, and the charming absurdity of Lemony Snicket.
