Carol Kendall's witty, epic tales about the race of people called the Minnipins are now available as Odyssey/Harcourt Young Classics. Now a new generation of readers can thrill to the adventures of the tiny folk who become mighty heroes.

This is a very enjoyable middle-grades fantasy novel, and a good book to help kids count down the days until the next Harry Potter release. I remember reading this book several times when I was in elementary school (maybe 5th or 6th grade). It is a classic fantasy, with lots of the kind of humor and whimsy that kids fell in love with in the Harry Potter series.
