Harvey Small is a boy in a giant’s world. On stilts
When Harvey accidentally sets fire to his headteacher’s trousers, Mum decides it’s time for a BIG change. So, she packs him off to Madame Bogbrush’s School for Gifted Giants.
He’ll grunt. He’ll clomp. He’ll bash things with clubs. But Harvey’s not a giant. He’s a ten-year-old boy on stilts. And if his classmates find out, they’ll stomp him into a sandwich!
Then the Beastly School Board arrives for a surprise inspection and Harvey realises he’s not the only one in danger…

Cheers for Small!

Small! is big on fun, huge on heart and full of guffaws. The story of Harvey Small’s friendship with Walloping the giant is enough to warm a swamp goblin’s heart
Myles Mcleod – author of the Knight Sir Louis series
Bursting with big laughs, literally larger-than-life characters and more crazy ideas than you can shake a pair of stilts at, Small! is a bumper book of brilliant bonkersness
