About This Book

The salty spray of the sea fills your nose as the ship creaks and groans beneath your feet. Suddenly, you find yourself in a land where people are no bigger than your thumb, and in another, giants tower above you like mountains. Each new place feels more unbelievable than the last, stirring a mix of wonder and unease deep inside.
