At the edge of a lofty cliff lives a young lad in his rough-hewn shack. He loves the simple pleasures of book reading, fossil finding and treasure hunting.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This beautifully illustrated story is about a young boy who lives at the end of the world--a place of solitude and adventure. When he comes across a businessman named Shimmer, he is excited to have a friend until Shimmer develops the land into a busy, noisy resort. The boy soon learns that he misses the harmony of this place and at the end moves to the "top of the world." The writing is simple yet purposeful, and this book is perfect for a child (or an adult) who wants to appreciate the importance of solitude in such a noisy world.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A wonderful picture book about enjoying yourself, and the value of quiet and inner-reflection. The pictures are terrific - glowing and whimsical, with more to see every time you look.A child enjoys his life alone at the End of the World. But then he is discovered, and Mister Shimmer, Professional Visionary decides to build up the End of the World into a wild fun park. The child enjoys making new friends, but is overwhelmed by the constant fun Mr. Shimmer thinks is so necessary.
