Just Ask Iris Reprint edition

One wacky building. One amazing summer.

But when Iris follows a cat out onto the fire escape one day, she ends up meeting some of the amazing people who live in her building, including Yolanda, the Cat Lady, and the angry boy with the peashooter.

And in the end, Iris gets something she didn't even know she was looking for....
