10-year old Persimmony Smudge falls into an adventure when she seeks the answer to the question, “Is there a giant sleeping under the island of Mount Majestic?”  First-time author Jennifer Trafton writes in a delightful, lyrical way (…for if there was one talent in the world Prunella possessed, it was a gift for going into hysterics), full of puns (the Lyre-That- Never-Lies), and whimsically profound (“But how do you know the sea goes on and on forever on all sides, and how do you know the sky is blue behind your back when you aren’t looking, because after all it might turn green or purple or orange the way the sunrise changes colors, and did you see how beautiful the sunrise was this morning?) This wacky tale features wonderful artwork by Brett Helquist (from the Series of Unfortunate Events) which helps add dimension to the story.
