Six Inches from the Ground: Where everyday life becomes an epic odyssey.
The world is much, much bigger than you think. You're just standing too far away from the grass.
In The Micro-Odysseys, young explorers leave the human world behind and enter the Backyard Wilderness, where a sneaker becomes a falling moon, a garden hose resembles a scaled serpent, and a lawnmower is the terrifying, forest-decapitating World-Eater.
Along the way, adventure becomes stealth science. Real biology, from pheromone trails and pleopods to the tardigrade's remarkable tun state, is woven into every story.
Specimen Files, scientific facts, a glossary, and a Backyard Quest invite readers to keep exploring after the stories end.
Perfect for curious readers ages 7-10, The Micro-Odysseys turns an ordinary backyard into a world waiting to be discovered.
Are you brave enough to look closer? I'll see YOU, outside!
