Spare Change (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781514864135)

Bonnie Huffington grew up in the still partially wild islands of the Puget Sound, running around barnacle and hermit crab infested beaches between sessions of being tucked up in the bow of her father's boat in a sail cocoon. There she delved deep into fantasy through Piers Anthony's world of Xanth and followed Laurie King's Mary Russell through mysteries and murder cases. But it was The Borrowers, "Ferngully," and an old beat up copy of In the Land of the Giants found in her mother's attic book collection that drew her into the world of tiny people and the dangers they face in a too large world.
