On a family vacation to the Royal Palm Hotel in Miami Beach, Norman Fishbein meets and begins an unusual friendship with another guest, the once famous comedian Mort Ziff. Battling obnoxious siblings, sunburns, and a corporate millionaire, Norman becomes determined to help Mort save his career, and in the process discovers an inner strength he didn't know he had . . .
A quirky, witty, and dryly comedic coming-of-age middle grade novel set in 1960s Florida, Mort Ziff Is Not Dead is a heartfelt character study of coming into one's own told with an elegant simplicity.
"A great romp through life in the ´60s as its delightful young hero stretches his wings and learns that kindness has many rewards." -- Historical Novel Society
