Gafferty Sprout is a Smidgen. A Smidgen looks like a human, sounds like a human, and loves chips with curry sauce like a human – if humans were three inches tall. If you took a human and shrunk it in the washing machine on a very hot spin cycle, you might get something like a Smidgen. Generations ago there were lots of them, living in a maze of tunnels beneath the human village of Dundoodle. But then something happened and they just … disappeared. Now Gafferty, her parents and her little brothers Gobkin and Grub are the only ones left, and the tunnels are forbidden territory.And then Gafferty finds an old map. A map that shows a place deep within the maze where Smidgen tribes can go to meet. Smidgen tribes! Gafferty knows that she has to try to find them. But the tunnels are dangerous. And soon Gafferty discovers she's not the only one looking for the lost tribes, and that three inches of Smidgen hold more power than she ever imagined.The first book in a funny, magical adventures series for 7+ readers who love Terry Pratchett, Max and the Millions and The Borrowers.

Focusing on presidential religious rhetoric, this study by David O'Connell examines how invoking faith in speeches often undermines a president's agenda. Through case studies and extensive analysis of speech transcripts, the author reveals that leaders resort to religious language out of necessity rather than desire. The book raises critical questions about the effectiveness of such rhetoric and whether divine intervention aligns with political intentions, ultimately questioning the impact of faith on leadership.

The author meticulously examines various manuscripts related to a longstanding critical controversy dating back to the end of the Middle Ages. By providing a critical text of a previously overlooked manuscript, the work captures both the essence and the exact wording of Louis' original writings, shedding new light on this historical issue.

Focusing on the historical context, this work presents Saint Louis's second set of recommendations to his daughter Isabelle, who would later become Queen of Navarre. O'Connell's critical text primarily utilizes a non-Latinized manuscript from around 1300, while also incorporating variations from both printed and other non-Latinized manuscripts. This scholarly approach highlights the nuances in the text, offering insights into the personal and political guidance intended for Isabelle.
