Three books in one, large volume. (Part I: "An Unexpected Journey", Part II: "The Wolverines", Part III: "The Lotus Flower"). Chewy Marmot has never ridden on a skyship before, or taken a funicular inside of a mountain. He doesn't know any wizards, or talking pigs, or that he can actually manifest fantastical foods just by imagining them. He certainly doesn't believe that the world is full of magic (it is), and that it's governed by a giant lotus flower that's about to die. All he knows is that his Spring is off to a really bad start. He's failed a really important test, he has no friends and his crush loves nothing more than to embarrass him. Not to mention there's a dark and ugly cloud hovering over Marmtunn, and it won't go away. When his grandfather dies, leaving him to take care of a cabin in the Mind Mountains that no one even knew existed, it's the last place he wants to be. He'd rather be at the helm of a sailboat out on the lake. Realizing he must prove his responsibility to his father in order to redeem himself, Chewy sets out to the cabin, only to find that when he gets there nothing will go as planned. He'll have to rely on his new friends in order to escape the tricks of Mind Mountains and avoid being captured by the evil Marculf, a gargantuan wolverine with freakish claws and a whole army to do his bidding. This is a superbly written long chapter book that will surely become a classic. Perfect for solo readers age 8+, but also a wonderful book for adults to read to children. The narrative slowly unfolds as Chewy prepares to leave the comfort and safety of his family mansion to discover the magic and enchantment in territories unknown. Filled with action and adventure. A real page turner....once you're drawn into Chewy's world you'll find that each chapter leaves you hanging. It will be hard to put down! "Great for Reading to Kids!" "Written in the Classic Style, You'll be Absolutely Charmed....You Won't Want to Leave Chewy's World!" "A Very Long Chapter Book for People Who Love to Read." "Sure to Become a Children's Classic!"
