Once for Yes, (Paperback)

<p><b>From the author of the national bestseller, <i>Olivetti, </i> praised by Tom Hanks as "a great favor" for readers.</b><b> </b></p><p><b>This heartfelt novel celebrates the healing power of community and the endurance of love, perfect for fans of Kate DiCamillo and Peter Brown. </b></p><p>The Odenburgh, an old apartment building made of brick and blunt opinions, is the last of its kind in a swiftly changing neighborhood. After years of putting up with people and their many problems, the Odenburgh knows there's no point in getting attached. They all just leave eventually. A truth that comes all too soon when the building is sold and slated for demolition, giving tenants a month to move out. </p><p>No one is more troubled by the news than eleven-year-old Prue, who refuses to leave her family's apartment. Not when it was the last place she lived with her sister Lina, before she lost Lina forever. When Prue launches a plan to save their home, the Odenburgh joins in--flickering lights, jamming elevators, triggering fire alarms--all to try and bring a building full of bickering residents together. In the process, Prue meets Lewis, an eccentric boy who lives across the street--and the only one who can help her discover the missing elements of her sister's story. </p><p>Heartfelt and bursting with a community of unique characters, <i>Once For Yes</i> is a testament to the endurance of love and the people we carry with us, wherever we go.</p>
