Deng is back in Wellford Youth Justice Precinct and he thinks he’s seen it all.
But when the prison doors start glitching in and out of existence, thirteen-year-old Deng and his chaotic friends seize the opportunity to escape the cells and run loose, dreaming of freedom, escape, or at least some KFC.
However, their escapade takes an unimaginable twist when a bizarre flash of green light shrinks them to the size of ants, stranding them in the vast lawns of the juvenile detention center.
In this miniaturized world, the adults, who have been trapped for years, wield strange powers. Powers that Deng and his friends now find themselves possessing. Cooperation with these adults might unlock the secrets of their abilities and a path to escape. But Deng senses a deeper mystery lurking beneath the surface. As he navigates this strange realm, he begins to unravel the unsettling truth the adults have concealed. With every discovery, Deng's resolve strengthens to expose the reality before it's too late.
‘Shrunked,’ Tahnee Jones' thrilling debut in the Wellford series, plunges readers into a world where the ordinary becomes extraordinary and the smallest beings face the greatest adventures. Join Deng and his companions on a tumultuous journey of trust, friendship, and the astonishing consequences of being “shrunked”.
