Gerald and the Wee People is a novel intended for young adults but readers of all ages will get carried away in the world of the Wee People.
Gerald and his best friend, Vernon literally fall into a new world when responding to a plea for help. A few years prior to that, the boys had discovered an unusual clearing in the woods where only Gerald had the ability to watch the daily activities that took place in a miniature village.
When creatures started attacking the village, Gerald became more and more concerned about the little inhabitants that he had become attached to. Vernon humored his friend but became concerned when Gerald mentioned one of the villagers coming to him and asking for help.
To prove him wrong, Vernon agreed to venture out to the clearing late one night and show Gerald it was all in his imagination. Instead, Vernon was drawn into the enchanted vision and both boys charged off to the rescue.

Review from Midwest Book Review:
It’s hard to find help when people doubt who you’re helping even exists. “Gerald and the Wee People” follows Gerald as he protects a village of small people who only he seems to be able to see and interact with. But Gerald’s troubles only grow when he finds he alone can’t protect him, and finding help seems so difficult. “Gerald and the Wee People” is a fascinating fantasy, highly recommended.
