Me, All Alone, At The End Of The World

BY M T ANDERSON, ILLUSTRATED BY KEVIN HAWKES

Brief Description:
The boy lives alone at the End of the World, hunting treasure with old maps, finding fossils, whistling tunes, playing ball by the drop. It's a peaceful, contemplative life, and the boy is content. Until, that is, a self-styled Professional Visionary arrives and puts up a sign: Constantine Shimmer's Galvano-Magical End of the World Tours. Fun All the Time! Soon men with machines come to pave a clearing for the inn and theme park, and the touring children seem nice, but still. . . . M. T. Anderson's lyric homage to simplicity and self-reliance is brought to life in arresting detail by the masterful artwork of Kevin Hawkes, creating a fantastical yet evocative world.
