The Alley | Eleanor Estes

2 posts | 3 read | 1 to read

In the heart of Brooklyn, New York, there is an alley that is the most beautiful place to live in the whole wide world. Or so Connie Ives believes. The alley is the perfect location to sharpen Connie's swinging skills, hold practices for the Alley Conservatory of Music, and convict a burglar by trial. From the bestselling author of Ginger Pye comes the story of a little girl whose eyes are always open to the beauty of the world that surrounds her.

“She thought mainly of life inside the Alley, in the beautiful, fragrant Alley. Her life was made up mainly of school and Alley.”

Soft pick - did not like this one as much as other Estes books. Love the setting and relationships though.

Texreader I am loving how you are just making your way through the alphabet!! 2mo

willaful I always thought this one dragged some and doesn't hold up as well as her other books. Love the idea of the Alley though. 2mo

TheAromaofBooks I reread this one recently - it's a bit choppy. 2mo

I have a lot memories of Dad reading this one out loud to us when we were growing up, but I don't think I had read it since! It's a pretty adorable story about a group of kids who live in a little cul de sac alley neighborhood. The main story is that there is a robbery, but there are a lot of little side stories and it's all such good fun.

TheAromaofBooks PS Second book about an alley I've read in the last few weeks; both stories from my childhood. My love of alleys may have been more influenced from outside sources than I realized 😂 8mo

PuddleJumper That's lovely 8mo
