of our Ezine!
by Luc Besson
Deep underground, the Minimoys are waiting . . . for a champion.
Arthur's grandfather disappeared four years ago. All he left behind are his notebooks full of stories about the Minimoys, a miniature people who are all less than one inch tall!
But the Minimoys can't possibly be real . . . can they?
Ten-year-old Arthur is about to find out, as a hidden message catapults him on an adventure wilder than he had ever imagined. He'll face mosquito-riding soldiers, a malevolent wizard, giant centipedes, and one very independent princess . . . and along the way he might discover that the littlest heroes can make the biggest difference.
First novel for children by the writer, director and producer of
The Fifth Element and La Femme Nikita.
Besson's story contains many of the elements of a good, suspenseful
children's adventure, but it is often over told, employs an
abundance of facile plot solutions, and loses threads and themes in
a long, dizzying action-adventure sequence that abruptly ends as "to
be continued." Still, it's hard to resist a likeable
hero-protagonist, treasure maps, the promise of rubies, and a land
of warring tiny people. Let the hype begin!' - Amazon
