On the eve of Tinification, when the world’s population will be shrunk in size to save them from environmental apocalypse, Aiden witnesses a horrifying attack on his father, the inventor who has made the process possible. He must join forces with his dauntless friend Soo to find the attackers before they sabotage Tinification – and the future of the human race. And when they are only nine centimetres tall and could be trampled by a grazing cow or killed by a predacious snake, they will need all their bravery and cunning – and the help of their allies, Soo’s valiant wren, Ardent, and Aiden’s snack-loving monkey, Bohol.
