Ella minnow pea is a girl living happily on the fictional island of nullip off the coast of South Carolina. The town was named after the author of the immortal phrase containing all the letters of the alphabet, " the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog". No Ella finds herself acting to save her friends family and fellow citizens from the encouraging totalitarianism of the Islands council which has banned the use of certain letters of the alphabet as they fall from the memorial statue of knowledge.
