<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A completely implausible earthquake sets Frederik Sandwich and Pernille, a mysterious stranger, on an adventure through secret and forbrbidden places in their small town.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><em>An earthquake? No. It couldn't possibly be. There absolutely shouldn't, wouldn't, and couldn't be an earthquake on Frederik's Hill.</em></p><p>That's what Frederik Sandwich thinks when he's woken by shaking with no explanation on one otherwise ordinary night. </p><p>But something has caused it and he's determined to find out what. The problem is no one will talk about it. The entire town claims the earthquake didn't happen. Except, that is, for Pernille, an odd new companion, who has announced, annoyingly, that she won't leave his side until the mystery is solved. </p><p>And this mystery is so much more than they bargained for. It will lead the two outsiders through abandoned train tunnels, into hidden library rooms, and to shadowy Municipal Hall in the dead of night, as they strive to figure out what caused the rumblings under their town.<br></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Outrageous twists and timely truths abound in British author Scott's debut novel, first in a planned series. Frederik confronts his own assumptions and finds the courage to challenge the status quo in this quirky and jokey mystery." - <strong><em> Publishers Weekly</em></strong><br><br>"This eerie book is reminiscent of Lemony Snicket in its characters and plot line and sure to be a popular title! This one is a must for elementary readers who want an engaging book that will take them on a wild ride and leave them on edge waiting for more." - <strong><em> School Library Connection, Highly Recommended</em></strong><br>
