Busybody Nora

Johanna Hurwitz

Harper Collins, Jan 9, 2001 - Juvenile Fiction - 96 pages

"What is your name?"

That's what Nora asks her neighbors as she rides up and down the elevator of her apartment house. She doesn't mean to be a busybody. She just wants to be like doorman Henry and know all the people in her building--all 200 of them! And then one day Nora gets a great idea: they'll have a giant party, for everyone in the building!
