Firefly. Cricket. Vole. Peter. Can four creatures from four very
different Nations help one another find their ways in the world that can
feel oh-so-big? Delve into this lush, unforgettable tale in the
tradition of Charlotte's Web and The Rats of NIMH, from the author
of the New York Times bestselling Someday.
Firefly doesn't merely want to fly, she wants to touch the moon. Cricket
doesn't merely want to sing about baseball, he wants to catch. When
these two little creatures with big dreams wander out of Firefly Hollow,
refusing to listen to their elders, they find themselves face-to-face
with the one creature they were always told to stay away from...a giant.
But Peter is a Miniature Giant. They've always been told that a
Miniature Giant is nothing but a Future Giant, but this one just isn't
quite as big or as scary as the other Giants. Peter has a dream of his
own, as well as memories to escape. He is overwhelmed with sadness, and
a summer with his new unlikely friends Firefly and Cricket might be just
what he needs. Can these friends' dreams help them overcome the past?
Firefly Hollow is nothing short of enchanting, reminding us all that the
very best friend is the one who wants you to achieve your dreams.
Full-color tip-in illustrations and dozens of black-and-white drawing
provide added glow.
