Mortimer Meatballs & the Great Waffles Rescue: An Invention-Filled Adventure

By Sandy Coccia

One eccentric inventor. Three brave kids. And a rescue mission that's about to go full steam ahead

Jayce is a builder. Connor is a listener. Ember is a spark of pure sunshine. When they set out for a simple hike at Peppermint Mountain with Grandma Tammy, they expected a picnic-not a mystery. But when they find a giant, fluffy dog named Waffles with a hurt paw, they are pulled into the wonderful, whirring world of Mortimer Meatballs, a master inventor whose cabin is literally alive with handcrafted wonders.

But shadows are moving in the forest. The brilliant but bitter Sneed Shadow has a plan to build the "Machine of Knowing," and he needs Waffles-and Connor's unique gift for listening to animals-to make it work. When Waffles is snatched away to a mountain fortress filled with spinning gears and lightning-fed coils, the race is on.

Filled with classic pen-and-ink illustrations, Mortimer Meatballs & the Great Waffles Rescue is a journey of gadgets, gears, and heart. It's a story about why some machines are meant to find lost things, and why some families are worth rebuilding, no matter how long they've been broken. A heart-felt story for children and grown-ups alike.
