    About this audiobook

    National Book Award Finalist M. T. Anderson is an acclaimed author of children's books. This Junior Library Guild Selection is his poignant praise of peaceful independence. At the edge of a lofty cliff lives a young lad in his rough-hewn shack. He loves the simple pleasures of book reading, fossil finding and treasure hunting. He enjoys the wind whistling through the bristly pines and the sun setting over the vast horizon. And then a bold dreamer promises him non-stop fun and friends galore with the End of the World Inn and amusement park.

      This beautifully illustrated story is about a young boy who lives at the end of the world--a place of solitude and adventure. When he comes across a businessman named Shimmer, he is excited to have a friend until Shimmer develops the land into a busy, noisy resort. The boy soon learns that he misses the harmony of this place and at the end moves to the "top of the world." The writing is simple yet purposeful, and this book is perfect for a child (or an adult) who wants to appreciate the importance of solitude in such a noisy world.

But then he is discovered, and Mister Shimmer, Professional Visionary decides to build up the End of the World into a wild fun park.
