A spin-off of Gulliver's Travels. Lily is a spunky fun character, and her vocabulary is delightful. An entertaining quick read.

Would recommend for fans of The Borrowers or Thumbelina or for anyone who appreciates Gulliver's Travels.
Lily is a feisty, if tiny, heroine. She has some giant enemies, though. I would have loved to spend more time on Lilliput with Lily and her family, but her adventure was thrilling nonetheless, and the illustrations perfectly fit.

I've never read Gulliver's Travels, but I read this for a class about how humans treat others.. Definitely something to think about. Cute story and great characters.

I've never read "Gulliver's Travels". Obviously I should.
Lily was kidnapped by a giant named Gulliver. Six moons later, she is still trying to escape. It isn't until escape plan #34 comes along that she finds success. But, how is a girl three inches supposed to find her home in a giant's city?
Lily was a resilient character. She could have stopped trying to escape a long time ago, but she doesn't. She wants to go home and nothing is going to stop her from doing that. Not even the fact that Gulliver keeps discovering her escape plans. Even if she has no way to get home, not that she knows where home is. She just wants out of the cage. She is a great believer in freedom, even with her friend Finn. Finn is a slave and Lily does what she can to free him.
This book reminded me a little bit of the movie "Epic". However, instead of being big and made small, she is small coming into a big city.
I quite enjoyed this book. It is one of those books that everyone could read, big or small. I'm going to have to make time to read "Gulliver's Travels" now!

Story set in Gulliver's world where he kidnaps a Lilliputian (Lily) to prove his wild stories and she tries to escape.
Charming and fun read, short and sweet.
