Book #8 in the award-winning Mortimer and Me chapter book series for ages 6-10! Reviews: Jimmy Robertson and his family - and Mortimer - are honored to receive an award at the Governor's Mansion. But after the ceremony Mortimer is missing! Is he lost? Can he find his way across Wisconsin back to Peabody? Kathie McMahon's book, Mortimer and Me: Moose on the Run, is a charming and lively story of friendship, teamwork, and perseverance. This is an entertaining read complimented by Tom Tate's delightful illustrations. Kids and adults are going to love this heartfelt addition to this popular series. - Jim Paillot, illustrator of over 100 children's books and the best selling My Weird School series Kathie McMahon's middle grade novel, Moose on the Run, is another exciting adventure in the Mortimer and Me series. Told in first-person narrative from Jimmy's point of view, the plot follows the family and friends (and Mortimer, too) as they embark on yet another adventure, this one to receive an award. The language is suitable for a middle-grade reader. Dialogue is used frequently and effectively to help develop the characters and move the story along. There are some twists and turns that young readers will both enjoy and appreciate. And there are lots of funny passages to keep the story light as the plot thickens. This story is part of a series, but the author has added enough background information to make it a good stand-alone tale. Friendship and camaraderie are the strongest themes and will certainly be understood by young readers. Overall, a fun read. ~ Reader's Favorite, 5-star review The Mortimer and Me chapter book series for ages 6-10 is a humorous, heartfelt story about a boy and a moose and the different adventures they embark on. Mortimer and Jimmy are soon joined by other kids who call themselves the Trailblazers: a diverse group of kids who deal with common interests. Designed for reluctant readers, the Mortimer series focuses on high-interest, low-vocabulary skills that will keep the reader turning every page. Curriculum and hands-on activities can be found on Kathie McMahon's website at https://www.kathiemcmahon.com/ Kathie McMahon is a retired elementary teacher with 32 years of classroom experience. Her goal upon retiring was to create books for those kids who sometimes "fall through the cracks" by being too old for picture books, but not quite ready for longer middle grade novels. Every book in the Mortimer series has received at least one literary award and is popular in many school libraries.
