(2) 4-6 Translated by Sarah Ardizzone. Illustrated by François Place. The world of the Tree, a society of miniature people, is threatened when a gangland boss/evil property developer grabs power. It's up to thirteen-year-old Toby to save his parents, the Tree, and the day. This breathless romp is filled with exhilarating surprises; a cliffhanger ending prepares for a sequel. Pen-and-ink and wash drawings convey the epic quality of the tiny world.
