The Rise and Fall of Mount Majestic
The Rise and Fall of Mount Majestic | Jennifer Trafton
5 posts | 8 read | 2 reading | 3 to read
Ten-year-old Persimmony Smudge lives a boring life on the Island in the Middle of Everything, but she longs for adventure. And she soon gets it when she overhears a life-altering secret and suddenly finds herself in the middle of an amazing journey. It turns out that Mount Majestic, the rising and falling mountain in the center of the island, is not really a mountain - it's the belly of a sleeping giant! It's up to Persimmony and her friend Worvil to convince the island's quarreling inhabitants that a giant is sleeping in their midst and must not be awakened. The question is, will she be able to do it?

I rediscovered a used bookstore yesterday that I hadn't visited in years. I got some awesome books, and I'll definitely be visiting again soon! #bookhaul

BucklingBookshelves I spy a RAR book! One on my shelf I‘ve been meaning to read actually 🙊 Another buddy read in the new year maybe? Also, I enjoyed Under the Wide and Starry Sky! Such a gorgeous cover on the hardcover — don‘t know what they were thinking when they changed it for paperback 🤔 7y
smilingshelves @Bucklingbkshelf You do, indeed! I've actually already read it - and loved it so much that I was ecstatic to find a copy to buy. It's one I'll be rereading for sure, and I can't wait to do it as a read aloud for my own kids someday. I've had Under the Wide and Starry Sky on my TBR for a long time. Now I can finally read it! 7y
BucklingBookshelves @smilingshelves right, now I remember you‘ve already read it! And remembering we still have our tentative Newbery winner buddy read plan 😊 7y

LeahBergen I just finished My Life in Middlemarch. 👍🏻 7y
smilingshelves @Bucklingbkshelf I'm looking forward to that Newbery buddy read! 7y
smilingshelves @LeahBergen I'm glad to hear it's good! I want to reread Middlemarch before I read it, since it's been probably 10 years. Hopefully I can make that happen soon! 7y

He's very wrong about that cockroach, but other than that, this bratty spoiled king with specific food cravings that end the world when they don't happen? HE GETS ME

This is such a sweet book. Everything about it is wonderful - the morals, the story, the characters. And it was so much fun to read aloud!

cellybh I've just started reading it myself, and I can tell just from the Prologue that it begs to be read aloud! 8y
