(4) 4-6 Lonely deaf boy Max spends most of his time making miniature models with boarding school custodian Mr. Darrow. When Darrow disappears, Max discovers an entire minuscule civilization in the man's quarters--and Max's hearing aids allow him to hear that world's warring populace. Despite Montgomery's snappy humor and clever world-building, this high-concept tale stumbles into middle-grade-fantasy clichés: orphaned hero, evil headmaster, magic serum, etc.
