Young readers will laugh-out-loud alongside Leeva Spayce Thornblossom in this big-hearted tale of a spunky young girl who sets off to change her town for the better with a ragtag group of neighbors. Matilda fans won’t want to miss Leeva at Last.
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.
