The Gammage Cup won a Newberry Honor. It is a fun book about
a bunch of outcasts that end up saving their people from danger.
The
general minnipin population remind me of Tolkien’s hobbits. They never
have any adventures or do anything
unexpected. They’re even smaller than the rest of humanity (although based on
other descriptions I think they’re more the size of borrowers than hobbits).
That’s why Muggles, Gummy, Walter the Earl, Curly Green, and Mingy don’t fit
in. They have ideas that don’t fit with the mentality of the other Minipins and
for that they are banished. But when the Hairless Ones of legend return to
wreck ruin upon the Minipins, it is up to these heroes that think so far
outside the box to save the day. A wonderful story about not fitting in, but
finding your place in the world.
