Bøker av Mikey Please

Everyone, everywhere on earth, is reduced in a flash to the height of a pint glass. What is responsbile for the sudden change and how will we cope with our new shrunken perspective on the world? The Expanded Earth is book one in a beautifully illuminated trilogy from the spellbinding mind of BAFTA award-winning storyteller Mikey Please

All of humankind has been reduced to the height of a handspan. Most of us don't survive the shift in scale - those of us who were carrying a particularly heavy box of books at precisely the wrong moment, for example, or have fillings in our teeth, or implants that remained unchanged while our bodies contracted around them. But one in nine of us have survived. The Expanded Earth is a masterfully paced and plotted story of mad scientists, vengeful phytoplankton and improvised survival. Stunningly illustrated in scratchboard and ink, it is a book that immediately relocates us in our physical environment, among the garden hoses and the polecats. Extremely funny and extremely ambitious, The Expanded Earth marks the arrival of a spellbinding new talent.
