Hardcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. From School Library JournalGrade 4-7-Lawrence dreads going to school because of Tony, a dangerous fifth grader. When the bully pulls a large hunting knife and threatens him, Lawrence runs away from his Santa Fe, NM, home, looking for safety in the desert. Instead, he loses his way, his possessions, and his confidence. A Navajo silversmith offers him shelter for the night, and a turquoise stone to help him be brave. The boy falls asleep and his adventures begin-dream or vision? Confronted by Tony again the next day, Lawrence calls on the stone, and both boys shrink to the size of ants, whose world they now enter. They separate and join opposing armies. Lawrence becomes a hero who helps his chosen colony to survive flood, capture, and numerous battles. When peace is finally established, Lawrence finds Tony and uses the stone to return them both to their world, and he wakes up. Lawrence has "learned not to be afraid," and runs, smilingly, for home. The dialogue is sometimes a little stilted, but the writing is clear and confident, and there is plenty of action. The geography is a bit confusing and the map presented at the beginning is of little help, but the story can be followed on trust, if readers are willing. Both Tony and the ants can become quite violent at times. An interesting first novel.Darcy Schild, Schwegler Elementary School, Lawrence, KSCopyright 2000 Reed Business Information, Inc.Product DescriptionTrouble is brewing for Lawrence Bell, a young boy who's taunted and bullied by other boys at school. Fearful of what they will do to him, he runs away into the desert, a forbidden place filled with tarantulas, rattlesnakes, and wandering coyotes. He meets a mysterious Navajo man, who hears his story and gives him a turquoise stone to help ward off the danger from the boys. And not a moment too soon. The very next day the boys appear and are about to pounce when Lawrence asks the stone for help. Immediately Lawrence finds himself reduced to the size of a tiny insect. He escapes, but now he must fend for himself against the creatures of the desert. And the stone is nowhere to be found. He must find it in order to get home, but first he encounters floods, battles with the red ants, narrow escapes from spiders, exile, capture, imprisonment in the dreaded fungus pit, and a flight off the notorious Rockface Cliff. Will he find the stone and what will he have learned in his struggle between good and evil?Review".the writing is clear and confident, and there is plenty of action.
