Another fantastic book in the Sally Gardner's Magical Children Series, about children empowered by special gifts. Once again it's utterly charming full of feeling and very funny. This is the story of a little girl who is so tiny she fits into a handbag. Whilst minute sized she grows to be brave, strong and finds love. Very touching.
Charming, full of feeling and very funny
