"In a story where every turn is possible, if improbable, Graham makes
readers believe. High hopes and busy, vibrant artwork . . . will entice
children." -- Booklist (starred review)

**One morning in front of Stella's house, an abandoned bus appears,
looking sad as a whale on a beach. On its front, held up with packing
tape, is a hand-painted sign that says Heaven. Right away, the bus
brings change to Stella's street when people stop to talk about it
instead of rushing by. "This bus could be ours," Stella declares. With a
master's eye for finding the magic in the mundane, Bob Graham creates an
encouraging story about community -- a whimsical tale about neighbors of
all ages and stripes coming together, and about one little girl who
comes into her own.
