Featured Book # 7

I love books written in correspondance, and Ella Minnow Pea, by Mark Dunn, fits the bill perfectly. It's the story of a town who bans the use of letters of the alphabet, one my one, and how they have to modify their writing and letters accordingly. It's a great story AND a really interesting study into what would happen if we didn't have all the letters we do now. Makes me want to have my students write without using a certain letter.
