Description

Gulliver Mulligan is twice as tall as his classmates, with big shoes and bigger hats. A loner, though not by choice, he colors by himself in class while the other kids play games, do crafts, and dress up. He watches while all the children play together after school but never joins in.One day, a new boy arrives in Gulliver's class — a small, shy boy named Mortimer Goss. Mortimer and Gulliver are as different as can be, but when the class's fall outing takes a fateful turn, Gulliver Mulligan is faced with a challenge. Will he be up to it? In this touching story, an unusual friendship grows where it's least expected.
