Sheeta's Little Big World 1

(this reviewer received an advance copy of this book for review through NetGalley)

Have you ever thought about your place in the world, and what it might be like not to be at the top of the food chain? Sheeta's Little Big World explores those questions with a story set amongst a group of tiny people living in logs and burrows, reminiscent of the Borrowers or Roald Dahl's Minpins. Kamba's approach to this setting, however, also recalls Ryoko Kui's Delicious in Dungeon, examining the ecology of this world and the definition of "right" and "wrong" when you're three inches tall and you have to fight tooth and nail to survive--but so does every other creature on the forest floor. Kamba also sets the stage for a bit of mystery in this show more adventure, hinting at the existence of even bigger creatures than the ones that nearly killed Sheeta and Izuna, as well as the mystery of what happened to Sheeta's father and Izuna's village. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoyed the titles mentioned above, as well as books like Avi's Poppy series, or any book about the adventures of tiny adorable woodland creatures - and the dangers they face. show less
