Description
Dingeltrot is the story of a twelve-year old boy who stands fourteen inches tall. Among his friends and family, that makes him a freak and a weirdo -- not because he's the shortest, but because he's the tallest. Small people live in secret colonies scattered across the globe. Most of the small dislike and fear their bigger ancestors, who have crowded the earth and made it nearly impossible to hide. But when Dingeltrot accidentally learns of a dark, guarded secret, he relies on his wit and inventiveness to embark on a dangerous journey that could reunite big and small, and change the world forever. Author Matt Goldman's clever depiction of Dingeltrot's joys and travails will enchant children and adults alike. And Dingeltrot's attempts to cope in a strange, big world are as amusing as they are poignant. With Dingeltrot , Goldman offers an enchanting and heart-warming tale of family, acceptance, and being comfortable in one's own skin.
