A stunning new story of hope, humanity and high-seas adventure for children and adults everywhere from Sir Michael Morpurgo, the nation’s favourite storyteller and multi-million copy bestselling author of WAR HORSE.
“We were the truth of our own story.Me, and the two tiny people on my shoulder, in the middle of the sea…”
War has forced Omar and his mother to leave their home in Afghanistan and venture across the sea to Europe. When their boat sinks, and Omar finds himself alone, with no hope of rescue, it seems as if his story has come to an end.
But it is only just beginning.
Because in the end, a little hope makes a big difference…
A thrilling adventure inspired by the classic story of Gulliver’s Travels, this is also a gripping modern narrative of rescue and refuge, from a writer at the height of his powers. A book about breaking down walls, at a time when many are trying to build them. And a timeless reminder of humanity’s infinite capacity for good… even when those humans are very small indeed.
Reviews
Amazing story about hope ,beliefs and to remember to never give up. This is a very touching story about a little boy who is an Afghani refugee who wants to reach England but on the way meets very extraordinary tiny people on the way... This is a very inspirational book originally from the book:Gulliver

I really loved this book. The relationship between the son in this book and his father in another book called gullivers travels was very interesting. I loved the little people as they were very caring and catered to the giants needs. I would definitely recommend this book.

I thought this book was very good because it tells you about a war in Afghanistan. It is a very long read so I would recommend it for more advanced readers. I am 8 so I would recommend for age 8 plus. But it is definitely one of my favourite books. It is a fiction book.

It's a really good book.Its so good because it's so fascinating to learn about the liliputians.It was a fiction book and my favourite character is Zaya because she's really funny and really kind.I would recommend it to 7 year old and over because there was a war and people sadly died so I think 7s good because little kids might get a bit scared plus it's a really long book.

This was a really good book by Michael Morpugo because it was inspired by Gulliver's Travels which was written almost 200 years ago! Even though it was take from an old story, it seemed very enjoyable and modern. I'd recommend it for 8 - 11 year olds who want to set themselves a challenge!
