<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"A classic-in-the-making, by turns wildly imaginative, laugh-out-loud funny, and heartrendingly touching."--Katherine Applegate, author of <i>The One and Only Ivan</i> <br><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>"A resonant story about family, friendship and loss, and the power of hope and unity. Gayton reminds us that small things are sometimes the most important."--<i>Sunday Times </i>[UK] <p/> To protect her village from a giant, Greta recruits a champion: Hercufleas! He may be tiny, but this young flea is certain he's destined for greatness. Being a hero is harder than it seems, though, and Hercufleas and Greta face unexpected choices--and consequences--in their desperate attempts to save the village, and each other. <br> Big heroes come in small packages in a superbly imagined tale that is part comedic adventure, part poignant coming-of-age epic, and wholly original.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>" Gayton's narrative is nicely and convincingly detailed, both in the matter of monsters, villains, and minor magics, and the matter of being incredibly small." <br><b>-Kirkus</b> <p/> "A clever tale of the power of the small over the mighty, with an itchy twist. A solid addition to large middle grade collections." <br><b>-School Library Journal</b> <p/> "Wonderfully endearing."--<i>Daily Mail </i>(UK) <p/> "This is a must read for fans of fantasy and books such as Kate DiCamillo's <i>Tale of Despereaux</i>." <br> --School Library Connection<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Sam Gayton</b> is the author of <i>Lilliput</i> and <i>The Adventures of Lettie Peppercorn</i>.
