Book:Truckers

Blurb

'Outside! What's it like?' Masklin looked blank. 'Well,' he said. 'It's sort of big -'
To the thousands of tiny nomes who live under the floorboards of a large department store, there is no Outside. Things like Day and Night, Sun and Rain are just daft old legends.
Then a devastating piece of news shatters their existance: the Store - their whole world - is to be demolished. And it's up to Masklin, one of the last nomes to come into the Store, to mastermind an unbelievable plan that will take all the nomes into the danger of the great Outside...
