A Sunday Times Best Book for Children 2023

A hilarious and heart-warming new adventure from Sara Pennypacker, the best-selling author of Pax, with illustrations by Caldecott Medal-winner Matthew Cordell

Leeva at Last follows Leeva Thornblossom, a curious young girl who loves to learn. Her local newspaper teaches her a new word every day, and soap operas introduce her to the many shades of human expression. When she discovers an announcement that all children are required to go to school, Leeva sees an opportunity to experience something beyond newspapers and television: the chance to meet people.

However, Leeva’s parents—her insufferable mayor and selfish tax collector—do not want her to attend school or meet other people. Thus, with the assistance of the town’s librarian and her son, Leeva embarks on a quest to uncover what her parents have been hiding from her. What secrets are they protecting?

With hilarious writing and an unforgettable hero, Leeva at Last is perfect for fans of Matilda, Flora and Ulysses, and A Series of Unfortunate Events.

About the Author

When Sara Pennypacker was a kid, she thought her parents' job was to keep life dull. She is very much afraid her own children felt the same way about her. Now that she's grown up, she is the author of the acclaimed middle grade novel Summer of the Gypsy Moths; the award-winning, New York Times—bestselling Clementine chapter book series; and the picture books Pierre in Love and Sparrow Girl. She divides her time between Cape Cod and Florida.
