Recommended youth fiction books tell 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 book, which aims to be among the recommended youth fiction books, 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 as in many recommended youth fiction books, it kicks into high gear and complicates when Dingeltrot accidentally learns of a dark, guarded secret.  Then, he relies on his wit and inventiveness to embark on a journey that could change the world for big and small. 

As in other works of recommended youth fiction books, Author Matt Goldman’s clever depiction of the main character’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 book, as in other works of recommended youth fiction books, Goldman offers an enchanting and heart-warming tale of family, acceptance and being comfortable in one’s own skin.
