Leeva at Last

By: Sara Pennypacker

Narrated by: Stephanie Willing

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.

Updated Matilda

So fun! Leeva at Last felt like an updated Matilda (storyline and the awesome illustrations) with a Series of Unfortunate Events vibe.

Leeva doesn’t have great parents, but she is a pretty awesome girl who comes of age and finds her “family.”

Fun MG read.
