This is a famous series about elementary school. Ella and her classmates grow up together with the readers: in the first book we meet first-graders - and then adventures during the holidays, detective stories, comic skits await us - and so on until the end of primary school!
Timo Parvela, the Finnish writer who invented Ella, knows very well what he is writing about - he worked as a school teacher for many years. The process of turning completely domestic six-year-olds into real schoolchildren, and then almost teenagers, is described by him very accurately (parents will recall many scenes from the books of situations from everyday life), and children recognize themselves and their classmates in the heroes of “Ella.”
