Ten-year-old Persimmony Smudge leads (much to her chagrin) a very dull life on the Island at the Center of Everything . . . until the night she overhears a life-changing secret. It seems that
Mount Majestic, the rising and falling mountain in the center of the island, is not a mountain at all�'it��┬ the belly of a sleeping giant, moving as the giant breathes. Now Persimmony and her
new friend Worvil the Worrier have to convince all the island��┬ other quarreling inhabitants�'including the silly Rumblebumps, the impeccably mannered Leafeaters, and the stubborn young
king�'that a giant is sleeping in their midst, and must not be woken.
Enhanced with Brett Helquist��┬ dazzling illustrations, Jennifer Trafton��┬ rollicking debut tells the story of one brave girl��┬ efforts to make an entire island believe the impossible.
