Book Review: Leeva at Last by Sara Pennypacker, Illustrated by Matthew Cordell
Leeva at Last written by Sara Pennypacker and illustrated by Matthew Cordell is a children's fiction book that was published on March 7, 2023 by HarperCollins Children's Books. This story about a girl named Leeva Spayce Thornblossom who is the daughter of the mayor and the town treasurer. Her parents are obsessed with fame and fortune and have little to do with Leeva. With the help of the town librarian, Leeva goes on a quest to find out what people are for. Thank you to NetGalley, HarperCollins Children's Books, and Balzer + Bray for the Advanced Readers Copy (ARC) of Leeva at Last . I was delighted to be approved to receive this book in exchange for my honest review. This middle grade book was an interesting read, and I wasn't really sure how I felt about it at first. It seems like it has similar situations to the book Matilda by Roald Dahl . . . I haven't read Matilda or seen the movie, so I am basing this on the synopsis and movie trailers I've seen....
