The Hotel Balzaar  Cover Image Book Book

The Hotel Balzaar / Kate DiCamillo ; iIllustrated by J͠lia Sard̉.

DiCamillo, Kate, (author.). Sardà, Júlia, (illustrator.).

Summary:

At the Hotel Balzaar, Marta's mother rises before the sun, puts on her uniform, and instructs Marta to roam as she will but quietly, invisibly like a little mouse. While her mother cleans rooms, Marta slips down the back staircase to the grand lobby to chat with the bellman, study the painting of an angel's wing over the fireplace, and watch a cat chase a mouse around the face of the grandfather clock, all the while dreaming of the return of her soldier father, who has gone missing. One day, a mysterious countess with a parrot checks in, promising a story -- in fact, seven stories in all, each to be told in its proper order. As the stories unfold, Marta begins to wonder: could the secret to her father's disappearance lie in the countess's tales? -- Provided by publisher.
