It takes awhile to get going but then it is very good!

Henni and her neighborhood friends, Zev, Danielle, Frank, andBriquette, are very sad when their neighbor Old Auntie Lilliedies. Old Auntie Lillie's apartment gets "the treatment" and is completely transformed, making Henni and her friends wonder who is moving there anyway. The new neighbors arrive and immediately they decide to call them the Phonies because they aren't who they seem to be. The Phonies complain about EVERY LITTLE THING and it is driving everyone crazy. This is a very funny and interesting book and there is no way you can stop in the middle and forget about it. Everyone should read it.
A really great book!

I am 12 years old and when I first read this excellent book I was 10. I have been re-reading it on and off for two years! Elizabeth Honey's brilliant detective/comedy novel is a wonderful recipe of humour, adventure, neighbourhood struggles and wild airport chases. The book had me laughing from the first page and I couldn't put it down down. The book is chock-full of likeable/evil/funny characters and Henni's narrative style is chatty and easy. The sequel, 'Fiddleback', is also wonderful, and at times it touches your heart.A must for any reader!
The Greatest Book Ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Elizabeth Honey is a fantastic writer. I love all of her books but this 45 & 47 Stella Sreet and everything that happened is the best. I just bought the sequel Fiddle-Back and I can't wait to read it. Anyway, 45 & 47 Stella Street is about a girl named Henni. Along with her sister, Danielle, friends Zev and Frank they set out to stop the Phonie's, the new posh and evil people in the street. This book will make you wet your pants with laughter. I think that this book is the best and I say you should read it.
A great book for all ages!

I have read a lot of books in my life, but not one book (besides Elizabeth Honey's other book "Don't Pat The Wombat!") has made me laugh as much as this one has! It is a great book and one for all the family at that (just ask my Dad)! Reviewed by: Rebecca Hill, aged 11.
Fantastic!!!

I have begun to read Stella Street and Everything That Happened with my Year 5 class. Their faces tell the story. Children enjoy the light but meaningful content; they laugh lots with Henni's dry sense of humour and they are continually asking when we can read another chapter of the story. In fact several children have bought in copies of Elizabeth Honey's other books. So I guess if the children are any guide to the quality of the book then, the book would be awarded five stars!!! If there are any teachers who have used her books with their classes please email me. I would love to hear your ideas.
