In the book Ella MINNOW PEA there is a girl named Ella who lives on an island Nollopton. On this island, they are not well educated with modern day technology and there a small island. The island has a letter written about 100 years ago hung up for everyone to see, this note has every letter in the alphabet on it it says "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog." One day, one of letters falls down the letter Z and the council of the island decides that no one should ever use that letter again so everyone is now scared to talk, and the letter Q falls, people are getting more scared except for a man named William Crevy he says what he wants and his caught saying a word with the letter Q in it and he was banished from the island. In the story Ella writes notes to her pen pal Tessie about the whole situation and as time goes by more letters fall off and Ella tells Tessie that what the council is doing maybe wrong so she goes to the council and ask them if she can make another sentence that has all the letters in the alphabet they say if she can do that then everyone can talk normal again. More and more letters fall off and the council finally decides to just take the sign off and everyone is allowed to talk normal again.
This book was very strange to me because throughout most of the book were letters written to Ella and Tessie, but i thought the book was very interesting how the island people were and how they lived their lives. It was a great read and I'd recommend it to anyone.
