Ella Josephine: Resident in Charge

The 2nd book in bestselling author Nina LaCour's first chapter book series for young readers.



The apartment house on Poppy Hill is inhabited by residents who are as much family as they are neighbors. And luckily 9-year-old Ella is there to help everyone through all their ups and downs. She knows about the glitchy lights and 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 who now are her silent partners in making sure that the apartment house is the perfect place to live.



This bighearted chapter book by bestselling author Nina LaCour, highlighted by lively illustrations throughout, 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!
