Arthur and the Minimoys

Arthur has read all about the tribe in his grandfather's notebooks, but he can hardly believe they are less than an inch tall. Until one day he discovers a secret message and a map to the land of the Minimoys, hidden by his vanished grandfather, which sets him off on a wild adventure. Arthur has three days to discover the Minimoys, recover stolen treasure, fight a force of mosquito-riding warriors, defeat an evil wizard and return to save the family home. All the more difficult if you have been shrunk to the size of a Minimoy...This is the first exciting part of the Minimoys adventure, by the acclaimed writer and film-maker Luc Besson. This and the second are being made into a film, released in 2006.
