The field of YA literature has been saturated with works of fiction, mainly in the fantasy/supernatural genre, so it was refreshing to see this well-written piece of non-fiction in the form of a biography on the life of Tom Thumb. Though written as a work of non-fiction, covering all aspects of Tom Thumb's life, the book reads like a piece of fiction and takes readers into a unique world and time. The historical details add to the interest value of this work, and the author clearly demonstrates evidence of deep research which adds to the credibility of the work. The illustrations will further entice young adult readers to enjoy the work. This is a biography of an intriguing personality who led an extraordinary life, and is highly recommended!
