A hilarious and moving story of one girl’s fight for freedom of expression, as well as a linguistic tour de force sure to delight word lovers everywhere.
Ella Minnow Pea is a girl living happily on the fictional island of Nollop off the coast of South Carolina. Nollop was named after Nevin Nollop, author of the immortal phrase containing all the letters of the alphabet: “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.”
Now Ella finds herself acting to save her friends, family, and fellow citizens from the encroaching totalitarianism of the island’s Council, which has banned the use of certain letters of the alphabet as they fall from a memorial statue of Nevin Nollop. As the letters progressively drop from the statue they also disappear from the novel. The result is "a love letter to alphabetarians and logomaniacs everywhere" (Myla Goldberg, best-selling author of Bee Season).

Reseñas de la Crítica
“There’s the whiff of a classic about Ella Minnow Pea.” (The Christian Science Monitor)

“A curiously compelling...satire of human foibles, and a light-stepping commentary on censorship and totalitarianism.” (The Philadelphia Inquirer)

This would be most suitable for eighth or ninth year students. Couple it with Animal Farm for some critical thinking lessons. And a great opportunity to expand vocabulary.
If you are not a Word Nerd, you might not enjoy this.
It grew tiresome for me. And I'm a Word Nerd...

I would have enjoyed this book more if I had read it, rather than listened. The chorus of narrators are theatrical and highly emotive. That, and a frequent recitation of the alphabet, became irritating as the story progressed, rather than increasing my empathy for the characters.
The ending is the weakest part of this listen, feeling to me to be rather "clever" and contrived, like the author had painted his characters into a corner and had to find a quick way out. It didn't do justice to the serious topic of the satire.
Perfect title for this story
