De: Jeffrey Freeman

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Henry is eight years old. He lives with his mother and father and twenty-eight other adults on a small, stranded island. Their tiny village, called Fumbledown, sits on a rocky island cove. Henry is free to wander the island in search of adventures everywhere except on the tallest hill. But there are days when Henry can almost hear the mountain calling him. Mr. Keister is an old man who lives by himself in a beach cave home with an old dog. Henry is a bit afraid when he first meets Mr. Keister and his dog but soon they all become friends. To Henry, Mr. Keister’s home is like a cave of dreams, decorated with bits of the old man’s past when he was a magician and juggler. Mr. Keister will send Henry on an apprentice quest to explore the secret passage to the other side of the island. When Henry encounters strange beings on the other side, he will discover his own hero instinct to protect his family.
