One mountain under threat. Two rival families. And a competition where integrity is the greatest tool of all!
Back on Peppermint Mountain, the gears are turning faster than ever as Jayce enters the County Invention Faire to prove his skills as a master builder. But a new shadow has fallen over the forest: the cold-hearted developer Mr. Vale, who will stop at nothing to shut down Mortimer's workshop and claim the mountain for his own glass towers.
As Jayce faces off against his sleek, high-tech rival Sebastian Vale, he discovers that building a machine is easy-but protecting an idea is a battle. With Mortimer's home on the line and a corrupt inspector closing in, the siblings must unite with an unlikely ally-Sneed Shadow-to launch a daring defense of their community. All while the mysterious Magnolia Moonstone watches from the shadows, guarding a secret legacy that connects the past to the future.
Filled with classic pen-and-ink illustrations, Mortimer Meatballs & The Great Invention Wars is a high-stakes adventure about fighting for your home, the power of truth, and the family bonds that no machine can break.
Perfect for fans of The Wild Robot and The Invention of Hugo Cabret. Suit up and step into the war of inventions today!
