'A sparkling adventure . . . deeply vital for our times' LoveReading4Kids

Having fled war-torn Afghanistan in a boat now sure to sink, refugee Omar prepares to be lost to the waves. But then he wakes up, on a beach, surrounded by people each no bigger than his baby finger.

As it turns out, these little people need saving just as much as he does. Can this giant bring peace? And will he ever find his way back to his mum?
