Juvenile fiction tells a story that is either about or meant to be read by young people, and this book fits both. Dingeltrot, a twelve-year old boy, stands thirteen inches tall. In his colony, that makes him a freak and a weirdo—not because he’s the shortest, but because he’s the tallest. In this work of juvenile fiction, secret colonies of “People” as they call themselves, live scattered across the globe, with few “Behemoths” as they call their bigger ancestors, knowing their shorter cousins exist. Most People dislike and fear Behemoths, who have crowded the earth and made it nearly impossible to hide. But this work of juvenile fiction kicks into high gear when Dingeltrot accidentally learns of a dark, guarded secret. He relies on his wit and inventiveness to embark on a journey that could change the world for big and small.
Author Matt Goldman’s clever creation of juvenile fiction depicts Dingeltrot’s joys and travails and will enchant children and adults alike. Dingeltrot’s attempts to cope in a strange, big world are as amusing as they are poignant. With this novel, Goldman’s work of juvenile fiction offers an enchanting and heart-warming tale of family, acceptance and being comfortable in one’s own skin.
