The Mountain of Dempsey Molehill

Where there's a Molehill, there's bound to be mischief.Dempsey Molehill and his siblings - practically-a-grownup Brom, responsible Tilly, pesky little brother Penn, and wild child Bandi - don't mean to cause mischief. But somehow, they always find themselves smack dab in the middle of it. When Dempsey's dad decides to run for mayor of Pickettstown, the five Molehill kids try to be on their best behavior. Unfortunately for Dempsey and his siblings, their "best behavior" includes luring bullies in muddy mayhem, casting Halloween curses, exploding appliances, and terrorizing classmates with Scrap the one-eared cat. Will their antics cost their dad the election? Or can the family band together to put the best Molehill foot forward? Follow a year in the life of the Molehill family as they try to unseat Mayor Jim Picketts and his family's generations-long dynasty of town leadership. From facing bullies to trying to defend their family honor, the characters in The Mountain of Dempsey Molehill provide a humorous middle grade story about life in rural Illinois, small-town politics, and growing up in a big, rowdy family.
