Imagine that all around you, hidden from sight, there are thousands of tiny people.
They are four inches tall, brave, stubborn and resourceful.
They are the nomes.

The nomes in this story live under the floorboards of a large Department Store and have never been Outside. But new nomes arrive, from - where else?

This is the story of Jekub, the Dragon in the Hill with great big teeth and a great loud voice.

(Well, that's according to the nomes, but they are only four inches tall.)

When humans threaten their new home in the quarry, the natural thing would be to run and hide.

When you're four inches high in a world full of giant people, things never go very well for long.

After running into trouble at the quarry, the nomes want to go home.

And so begins an incredible journey, filled with peril, planes, honking geese .
