Max is a lonely orphan shunted off to boarding school by his great aunt. He’s also deaf which isolates him even more. His only friend is Mr. Darrow, the school janitor. Max and Mr. Darrow share a love of model-making. Mr. Pitt, the evil headmaster would like nothing more than to get rid of Mr. Darrow and when Mr. Darrow disappears, it is up to Max to find him. When Max returns from summer break, he discovers a miniature world come to life in Mr. Darrow’s room. Max and his roommate Sasha must save the tiny people and entertain Sasha’s baby sister and her summer campmates while keeping Mr. Pitt away from Mr. Darrow’s bedroom. A fun — and funny — fantasy.
