Books with author Robert U Montgomery

Perijee and Me is a hilarious and touching story about an unusual friendship, a heart-stopping adventure, and the power of kindness when you’re faced with an alien invasion. If E.T. the Extra Terrestrial is still “right here” in your heart, then you’re sure to fall hard for the misunderstood Perijee and the one girl who’s desperate to save him. Caitlin is the only young person living on Middle Island. On the first day of vacation, she finds a tiny alien on the beach. Caitlin becomes close to her secret friend, whom she names Perijee, and treats him like a brother. Caitlin has a reading disability, but finds she is a good teacher, telling Perijee everything she knows about the world. There’s only one problem: Perijee won’t stop growing. And growing . . . Caitlin will have to convince the adults around her—and Perijee himself—that the creature they see as a terrifying monster is anything but. When things get out of hand, brave Caitlin embarks on a journey to save Perijee before it’s too late.Praise: "Elements of humor and an attractive jacket add to this chapter book's undeniable appeal." --Booklist"A cute read for kids who like a strong dose of absurdity." --School Library Journal"Montgomery's jam-packed narrative doesn't slow for an instant in this exaggeratedly comic drama. . . . Humor carries the day." --Kirkus Reviews"Caitlin's desperation for friendship is palpable, and the book powerfully conveys the longing for connection that drives her to risky actions. This British import is earnest, often quietly thoughtful, and quirky." --The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books“Montgomery engages us with . . . high drama, hurtling towards a heartwarming resolution.” —The Sunday Times (London)

Excerpt from The Hawks of Hawk-Hollow, Vol. 1 of 2: A Tradition of PennsylvaniaHear me, but don't believe me, after you have heard - says Calderon, the Spanish dramatic poet, with a droll spirit of honesty, only equalled by the English Burton, who concludes the tale of the Prebend, in his Anatomy of Melancholy, by ex claiming, You have heard my tale; but, alas! It is but a tale, - a mere fiction: 'twas never so, never like to be, - and so let it rest. We might imitate the frankness of these ancient Worthies, in regard to the degree of credit which should be ao corded to our tradition; but it would be at an ex pense of greater space and tediousness than we care to bestow upon the reader. We could not declare, in the same Wholesale way, that the folu lowing narrative is a mere fabrication, for such iti is not; while to let the reader into the secret, and 1 point out the different facts (for facts there are) that are interwoven with the long gossamer web of fiction, would be a work of both time and labour.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
