Book description
And Grimma said, We have two choices. We can run, or we hide. And
they said, Which shall we do?
She said, We shall Fight.
A Bright New Dawn is just around the corner for thousands of
tiny nomes when they move into the ruined buildings of an abandoned
quarry. Or is it?
Soon strange things begin to happen. Like the tops of puddles
growing hard and cold, and the water coming down from the sky in
frozen bits, Then humans appear and they really mess everything up.
The quarry is to re-opened, and the nomes must fight to defend their
new home. But how long will they be able to keep the humans at bay -
even with the help of the monster Jekub?
