Meet Chocoletta Éclair, sharp-eyed, quick-witted, and gloriously out of step with the world around her. Though only a child, she carries a talent for mischief, a habit of tumbling into the absurd, and a suspiciously modern way of seeing things. When a friend falls ill, she becomes a gentle and steadfast presence at the hospital bedside - and in the process, her kindness draws a new and unexpected friendship into her life.
