About this ebook

Imagine that all around you, hidden from sight, there are thousands of tiny people.
They are four inches tall, brave, stubborn and resourceful.

my 10 year old daughter thought this book was really good. Quite different from almost anything we've read together and very funny in places. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
