Lilliput - Paperback
by Sam Gayton (Author), Alice Ratterree (Illustrator)
In a city full of giants, can one tiny girl find her way home?
She is a girl three inches tall with eyes like drops of dew. Her clothes are cut from handkerchiefs and stitched with spider silk. For half her life, she has been suspended in a birdcage while Gulliver, her giant kidnapper, sits below her, writing in a leather-bound book the size of a house. Her name is Lily, and tonight she is planning her 35th escape attempt. She is going to find a way to get home. To Lilliput. Inspired by Gulliver's Travels, Lilliput is an exhilarating and imaginative adventure filled with cunning escape plans, evil clock makers, and talkative parrots. Join Lily as she travels through eighteenth-century London--over rooftops, down chimneys, and into chocolate shops--on a journey to find the one place in the world where she belongs...home.Sam Gayton received a master's degree in Writing for Young People at Bath Spa University.
