Okay, this book is amazing. Absolutely awesome. If you like The Lord of The Rings or the Chronicles of Narnia, this is definitely the book for you.
The Minnipins have lived in the Land Between the Mountains for eight hundred and eighty years, ever since the hero Gammage led them through a passage that has long since filled in.
But the old legends have become simply wisps of memory, and the Minnipins have forgotten their ancient heritage. Four hundred years after Gaammage led the Minnipins to their home, Fooley the Magnificent went on his famous balloon ride to the Land beyond the Mountains, and brought back amazing things. Four hundred MORE years later, Fooley's descendants have become the Periods, an elite group of people who control the village of Slipper-On-The Water.
Slipper-On-The-Water is the best, the most uniform and the prettiest of all the twelve villages in the Land Between the Mountains. Everybody says so. Except for Them. They are Walter the Earl, Curley Green, Gummy the Poet, and Muggles. In the course of events, these four, plus the village money keeper, Mingy, are outlawed from the village and go to live near one of the mountains (Frostbite or Snowdrift, I can't remember which). But they soon discover that the Hairless Ones, who played the Minnipins in the time of Gammage, have returned.
And They are the only ones who can stop them.
I suggest this book for all ages, and grownups, too. It's a great family read, and has no real violence and absolutely no language.
5 BIG HUGE STARS!!!!!
Enjoy,
AJ
