Toby is on the run, hunted by his own people. This sounds a promising start for a thriller. But Toby is no more than one millimetre tall and his home is the Tree. Translated from the French (the sequel is already out in France), this is an exciting adventure for young readers with a strong ecological theme that those who have been brought up on 'The Borrowers' - and those who haven't - will relish.
