More About This Title Thomas Trew and the Hidden People

English

Everyone thinks 10-year-old Thomas Trew is weird—neighbors, other kids, even his own dad—but Thomas doesn't really mind. When a dwarf appears in Thomas’s house one day, his life changes forever. Thomas is summoned to the Hidden World, a magical place responsible for dreams, music, and imagination in the Obvious World (the human world). Extraordinary adventures await Thomas and his shape-shifter friends who are caught up in the unpredictable rivalries between the different races of the Hidden World. Soon Thomas discovers his true talents and emerges as a Rymer, someone who is able to take his place as a link between the worlds of imagination, and the everyday. Suddenly his weirdness doesn’t seem so bad at all.

"One of the strengths of Masson's work is this creation of parallel worlds of fantasy which interweave with the old folk tale but also produce echoes of myth."  —Australian Book Review"Reading one of Sophie Masson's books is like standing on top of a lonely mountain at midnight, under a star-filled sky . . . Her work has that same sense of clarity, magic, and mystery."  —Garth Nix, author, The Abhorsen Trilogy"A fascinating fantasy world."  —School Librarian"The first of six rumbustious adventures, it enjoys Blytonesque jollities and gorgeous grotesques drawn by Ted Dewan."  —The Times
