Ten-year-old Persimmony Smudge lives a boring life on the Island in the Middle of Everything, desperately longing for high adventure. But when she overhears a life-altering secret, she suddenly finds herself in the middle of an amazing and perilous journey. Mount Majestic, the rising and falling mountain in the center of the island isn't actually what everyone thinks it is. And now it is up to Persimmony and her new friend, Worvil the Worrier, to convince the island's quarreling inhabitants, including the stubborn young king, that they must come together to face the truth. The question is, Will she be able to make every believe this unbelievable tale?

The Rise and Fall of Mount Majestic
The inhabitants of the Island at the Center of Everything are inclined to take things to extremes.

Reviewed by Sherry Early
Insanitorious. Ludiculous. Ridiposterous. Flibbertigibbeted. Discumbersomebubblated. The presence of these words and others like them in this book compels the logophile to read and enjoy. Word play galoric.
The Rise and Fall of Mount Majestic
Reviewed by Sara Masarik
“There is a very good possibility that you will not believe a word I say.” Excellent opening words for a family read aloud and a book review alike. I don’t know about you, but such an opening, clues me into the sense that I am about to go on a wild adventure.
