Look insideThe Bed and Breakfast Star
“Where do baby apes sleep? In apricots! I’m Elsa, and that’s one of my jokes…”
Elsa loves to tell jokes and clown about, but no one seems to laugh much any more – not since her family lost their lovely house, and ended up stuck in a dingy bed and breakfast hotel. Even in the horrible and very un-royal Royal Hotel, Elsa keeps busy cracking jokes and getting the other guests chuckling. But as things go from bad to worse, even Elsa finds it hard to keep smiling – until disaster strikes and she gets the chance to be a real star at last… Funny and moving, warm and wise, Elsa’s story will touch your heart.

I think Elsa is one of the cheeriest, kindest kids I’ve ever read about. She has a such tough time too. Her mom is sooo depressed since they moved into some gross bed & brreakfast dump and her stepdad is a bit of a scary nightmare. She tries cheering people up by telling these awfully corny jokes, but I LOVED THE JOKES!
