Description
Seven-year-old Elsa is different, and her seventy-seven-year-old grandmother is her best, and only, friend. Her grandmother is also crazy—the kind who fires paintball guns at strangers from balconies. At night, Elsa escapes into her grandmother’s fantastical stories of the Land-of-Almost-Awake and the Kingdom of Miamas, worlds where being different is normal. But when her grandmother dies, she leaves Elsa a final, unexpected adventure: a series of letters apologizing to people she wronged. Following her grandmother’s instructions, Elsa journeys through an apartment building filled with a cast of unusual characters—drunks, monsters, attack dogs, and old crones—uncovering the truth about fairy tales, kingdoms, and a grandmother unlike any other. This is a story about life, death, and the right to be different.
