When he mysteriously shrank to a tiny size, the park near Robet’s house became a threatening wilderness. With the help of a determined group of survivors, he was able to journey home and reunite with his former self. But Robert can’t stop thinking about the little people he left behind, most of whom will not live through the coming winter.

When Robert sees a chance to rescue Lorn, who saved his life, he sets out on a desperate quest with his sister, Emma, and his best friend, Tom. But none of them are prepared for the shocking truth about Lorn’s life.

Meanwhile, in the cavern underground, the small Lorn is striving to lead the ragged little band and has no memories of her past. Now she finds herself drawn to a network of dangerous tunnels where an unknown menace lurks. Can Robet bring the two Lorns together in time to save them both?
