The Wonderful Adventures of Nils
by Selma Lagerlöf
“To truly grow up, he had to become the smallest boy in the world.”
When a mischievous boy is magically shrunk to the size of a thumb, he is swept away on a breathtaking journey across Sweden atop the back of a farm goose. High above the clouds, he must trade his selfishness for courage as he discovers the true meaning of kindness and the hidden wonders of the natural world.
