The Apartment House on Poppy Hill

by Nina LaCour Narrated by Jorjeana Marie

Overview

A charming new audiobook by bestselling author Nina LaCour

Welcome to 1106 Wildflower Place: It is no ordinary apartment house, but you, listener, are no ordinary visitor. So, please, come in!

Two new tenants have just arrived, and nine-year-old Ella is determined to help them settle in. Who better to teach them about the glitchy lights and the nighttime noises? After all, Ella knows all the neighbors. Well, almost all. No one has met the mysterious Robinsons who live on the top floor. Will a special neighborly celebration change all that?

This bighearted audiobook by bestselling author Nina LaCour celebrates community, friendship, family, and home. It is a place of walking dogs that aren't yours, keeping surprises secret, and making everyone feel welcome. Here, the eccentric joy of Armistead Maupin's Tales of The City merges seamlessly with the antic fun of Ivy + Bean, the family tenderness of The Penderwicks, and the madcap adventure of Eloise in an irresistible story that will leave you eager for the next one!
