In the vein of The Borrowers and The Indian in the Cupboard, this is an imaginative, irresistible, and incredible exploration into what happens when one boy discovers a kingdom of tiny people.
The day before summer vacation, Max's closest friend at boarding school disappears, leaving behind his amazing model collection and a handful of sand on his bedroom floor.
Like Max, the eccentric janitor Mr.
Darrow is a genius at building tiny models.
Eight weeks later, Max finds that the sand has magically transformed into a whole desert kingdom--filled with millions of tiny people Max wears hearing aids, and they allow him to hear the ant-sized people.
There's a boy named Luke who's about to become king.
But when Max appears, he plunges their world into chaos.
Luckily, Luke has two strong allies: Ivy, a fearless girl, and Luke's trusty steed--a flea.
While Max and his new friend Sasha fight to protect the Floor from their evil headmaster, Luke must fight to save it from being destroyed by all-out war.
