Shrunk!

A squirrel, a hot dog stand, Jupiter... what will get shrunk next? After Tom moves in with his grandmother next to the Bywater-by-Sea Model Village, he discovers a curious ability to shrink things. With the earth slowly being drawn towards the sun, and the angry (and miniaturised) school bully yelling from his pocket, Tom has to return Jupiter to orbit before asteroids pummel the village and the earth and sun collide. Debut author F. R. Hitchcock is sure to build a strong fan base amongst boys and girls with her quirky imagination. Shrunk! is for readers who want a lot of fun from their books. Perfect for fans of Flat Stanley and Andy Griffiths.

About the Author

Born in Chobham, by an airfield, and raised in Winchester on the banks of the river Itchen, Fleur Hitchcock was the youngest child of three. When she was eight, she wrote a story about an alien and a jelly. It was called The Alien And The Jelly and filled four exercise books. She grew up a little, went away to school near Farnham, studied English in Wales, and, for the next twenty years, sold Applied Art in the city of Bath. When her younger child was seven, she embarked on the Writing for Young People MA at Bath Spa and graduated with a distinction. Now living outside Bath, between parenting and writing, Fleur Hitchcock works with her husband, a toy-maker, looks after other people's gardens and grows vegetables. Fleur's debut novel Shrunk! was THE SUNDAY TIMES 'Book of the Week'.
