description: Ella Minnow Pea is a girl living happily on the fictional island of Nollop off the coast of South Carolina. Nollop was named after Nevin Nollop, author of the immortal pangram,* â€œThe quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.â€ Now Ella finds herself acting to save her friends, family, and fellow citizens from the encroaching totalitarianism of the islandâ€™s Council, which has banned the use of certain letters of the alphabet as they fall from a memorial statue of Nevin Nollop. As the letters progressively drop from the statue they also disappear from the novel. The result is both a hilarious and moving story of one girlâ€™s fight for freedom of expression, as well as a linguistic tour de force sure to delight word lovers everywhere.* a sentence or phrase that includes all the letters of the alphabet
