Bookroo's summary

Nora rides the elevator, asking each neighbor their name, dreaming of knowing all 200 residents like doorman Henry. Her curiosity leads to a bold idea: a building-wide party. Can she unite everyone for a grand celebration, or will her plan unravel? Discover the surprises and connections that unfold as Nora's vision takes shape.

From the publisher

“What is your name?”That’s what Nora asks her neighbors as she rides up and down the elevator of her apartment house. She doesn’t mean to be a busybody. She just wants to be like doorman Henry and know all the people in her building–all 200 of them! And then one day Nora gets a great idea: they’ll have a giant party, for everyone in the building!
