Middle Grade
Endingen Mole has always lived a quiet, solitary life – until a fallen cupboard reveals a hidden map and awakens memories long buried. With questions swirling and a sense of purpose stirring, he sets off on a journey aboveground, leaving behind the safety of his tunnels.
Armed with a knapsack of treats and a growing sense of determination, Endingen ventures into a world filled with wonder and danger. Along the way, he meets a host of curious creatures, some kind, some cunning – each with their own stories and secrets.
But all paths lead to Hillfoot House, where a long-lost birthright lies in the shadow of his manipulative uncle, Julius. And though Julius has no magic, his power to twist minds and bend wills may be the most dangerous force of all.
Here's what readers have to say about this book....
I finished this book in one sitting last night! (And that's not something I manage often)! I got swept away with the adventure and couldn't put it down! Encountering so many intriguing and interesting characters along the way, this tale focuses on resilience, determination, courage and the importance of friendship. It also contains subtle hints and tips throughout, on how best to calmly handle yourself in difficult situations transferable to many life encounters. A real fun & feel good tale with just enough suspense for my Sunday night brain lol Approx age 7yrs - 99 and anywhere in between. Also suitable for reading aloud to younger children. As a bonus you can visit the characters on the interactive website.
Really enjoyed this book, I felt as though I was there with the mole and his friends and was almost in happy tears towards the end, excellent read. And I am an 82 year old.
What a excellent book, I couldn't put it down, Stephen has a magical imagination, my kids love Endingen moles adventures and who he met on his travels. We can't wait for the next book 😊
Lovely book for the age group but also thoroughly enjoyed it as an apparently fully functioning adult. Enchanting story and a lyrical writing style...could see this as a Christmas TV animation (check out the website to see the cute animation which a TV production company should jump on). Looking forward to the next book and my colleagues with children are already talking about it as a great bedtime read.
