Description
Ella Minnow Pea: A Novel in Letters by Mark Dunn is a humorous and moving tale of one girl's fight for freedom of expression. On the island of Nollop, off the coast of South Carolina, Ella finds herself at the forefront of a battle against the totalitarian Council, which has banned certain letters from being used. The story begins with a mysterious event: the first letter to fall from the memorial statue of Nevin Nollop, author of the famous alphabet phrase "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog." As more letters disappear, Ella and her friends must find ways to communicate without them. This clever device allows Dunn to explore themes of language, censorship, and self-expression in a unique and engaging way. A love letter to alphabetarians and logomaniacs everywhere, this novel is sure to appeal to readers who appreciate wordplay, satire, and coming-of-age stories.
