Molehill starts with M. Mischief starts with Molehills. 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? The Mountain of Dempsey Molehill is a humorous middle grade novel about life in rural Illinois, small-town politics, and growing up in a big, wild family.
