(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Brett Helquist. Ten-year-old Persimmony Smudge longs for adventure. Her wish is fulfilled when she discovers that her island's Mount Majestic is actually a sleeping giant's belly. Now Persimmony must convince the island's squabbling residents of the giant's existence before it awakens. Offbeat characters, clever wordplay, and eye-pleasing black-and-white illustrations commingle in this lively story about a young girl's fight to be noticed.
