Ella Minnow Pea

A Novel in Letters.

Ella Minnow Pea lives a quiet life on the island of Nollop, named after the creator of the famous pangram, “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.”

But when the island’s ruling Council begins banning letters of the alphabet as they fall from a memorial statue, daily life quickly turns absurd—and dangerous. As language itself is restricted, Ella sets out to protect her friends, family, and freedom of expression.

Told through a clever and ever-evolving use of language, this witty, inventive novel is both a satire of censorship and a love letter to wordplay.
