Risk-averse Greg Belmont is content with being ordinary. He's has a single friend and a father that tries to make ends meat. The problem is, Greg isn't ordinary he's actually a Dwarf. He discovers the truth the day his dad brings home a gross new tea, that awakens bizarre abilities in Greg.

Very well written. The voice of the main character comes through loud and clear. Mac runs his business out of the fourth stall in the bathroom. For a fee, he will solve your problems until a character named Staples arrives and threatens to end not only Mac's business but also life as he has known it. This is a great read-aloud book because Mac's voice comes through so loudly and clearly. The humor brings this story to life.

Greg continues his journey. This one goes to new places and introduces some great new characters. My daughter (10) and I love the Greg series.
