As I was reading this middle grade novel, I was constantly making connections to Roald Dahl's Matilda. Leeva's parents run the town, Nutsmore. Her mother is the mayor; her father is the treasurer. Leeva basically has been held prisoner in her own home most of her life. One day she ventures out to discover a library, friendships and the true meaning of familial love.
*Highly recommend.
Points to discuss: embezzling, her parents are cruel to her by their words and by keeping her captive in the home, her parents abandon her and love themselves, fame and money more than her
-Borrowed from the library.
