Coming at you post-Halloween with a fun middle grade book! I loved The Apartment House on Poppy Hill. Ella is spunky and curious, a delightful young protagonist to follow. Since I live in the suburbs, the apartment house setting was interesting for me. It was neat to learn about the neighbors in each apartment and how the nosiness of Ella endears her to everyone in the building. I saw a comparison of this book & main character to the Ivy + Bean series and I agree!

Thank you to @lyon.brit.andthebookshelf for the recommendation! The Apartment House on Poppy Hill is out Tuesday, November 7th! Thank you to Netgalley and Chronicle for my e-arc!
