Savannah Allen's busy brain and fertile imagination become ignited on a family vacation to the mountains when a little man working in a country market gives her a ream of very old paper.
Upon arrival at the family's summer cabin, Savannah discovers that she can sun-bleach the pages to reveal a hidden story of "tiny others" who once made their home in the surrounding forest.
Who wrote the story,and when was it done?
Chip Campbell, Savannah's new neighbor, thinks he knows the answers, and for some odd reason, that irritates the twelve-year old girl.
As the two young people challenge each other to accept and use their respective gifts, they begin to understand that everyone has responsibilities to find and develop the things that they can do best and then "use them well".
This is the first book in Lynda's Agent C Series, however these stories are not necessarily sequential. "Agent C" is an embedded reading coach who makes cameo appearances in all of these middle-grade chapter books. In Tiny Others, Agent C takes the role of the little shopkeeper, Mr. Pippin, who delivers the ream of old paper. This gift causes the story to shift in a dynamic way.
When soimething causes such a dramatic change in the plot, it is given a special name. It is called a "catalyst", and the "C" refers to that word.
