Just Ask Iris by Lucy Frank
One wacky building. One amazing summer.According to her mother, Iris is supposed to spend the summer safely indoors, keeping the apartment clean and learning to type. But when Iris follows a cat out onto the fire escape one day, she ends up meeting some of the amazing people who live in her building, including Yolanda, the Cat Lady, and the angry boy with the peashooter. So she comes up with two summer goals of her own: to earn some money, and to spend as much time outside the stuffy apartment as possible.
The money starts trickling in thanks to Iris's many neighbors and her errand-running business. But little does she know her job -- and her typing skills -- will lead her to play a major role not only in the future of her building, but also in the lives of forty-plus cats. And in the end, Iris gets something she didn't even know she was looking for....
Lucy Frank is the author of seven novels, both middle grade and young adult. The first, I Am An Artichoke was a Publishers Weekly Flying Start. Booklist said of Will You Be My Brussels Sprout, its follow-up: This quirky coming-of-age story will confirm Frank's place as a fresh new YA talent. Her books have been praised as funny, brainy and sweet, wise and terrifically well-observed. She splits her time between New York City and upstate New York, where she and her husband have raised one son, three cats, four ducks, and countless flowers and vegetables.
