Violet Pott has always dreamed of riding the park’s most intense roller coaster, Plunger. On the day she finally reaches the height requirement, an unexpected twist turns her life upside down—she shrinks to a fraction of her former size. Away from the boom of the coaster and the echo of her own voice, Violet must navigate the park as a miniature adventurer. As her world is turned-upside‑down, she discovers that being tiny can bring new courage, resourcefulness, and surprise joy.
