Elana is thrilled to be living all the way up on the eighth
floor of 514 Melon Hill Avenue, an apartment building in New York
City. But with her new life come changes--and challenges. Is her
shiny scooter up to the crags and potholes of city sidewalks? Will
she be able to make new friends? Can she find a way to help out
little Petey, who everyone says doesn''t talk? And will the kids
from Melon Hill win any blue ribbons at the Borough-Wide Field
Day?As Elana coasts toward discoveries and surprises in her new
home, she keeps one thing in mind: Anything can happen as long as
you have a winning attitude and a cool set of wheels Elana Rose
Rosen and her mother have just moved to a new apartment, and this
is Elana''s story about the event-filled summer that follows and the
new neighbors and friends that become an important part of her
life. "A pleasure to read....A story, told with tremendous
inventiveness, of the satisfactions and intellectual excitements of
childhood, of the worlds seen, explained and illustrated through
the remarkable eyes of a remarkable girl."--New York Times Book
Review.
