At the dawn of creation, a little alien named Meeka changes not only the fate of her world, but the very foundation of the universe. A mystical and philosophical tale filled with stange creatures and unpredictable settings, which only Michel Gagne's fertile imagination could have conjured.

A Legend of Miniature Proportions,
By J_M (Los Angeles, California USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Towers of Numar (Hardcover)
The book is about an alien race, called Numarians (residents of Numar), particularly about Meeka. Meeka is a young, creative girl inclined to science and engineering, and with the talents she has, makes a big diffenrence in their world (and other worlds as well). The book is intended for children, but contains enough charm to appeal to more mature readers -- with its simple and colorful artistry, and great poetic story-telling. This is another book which proves that size doesn't matter (in this case, neither does age). A great book to inspire children and adults alike.

Get One!,
By Matthew (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Towers of Numar (Hardcover)
This book has been out for awhile and even though I have all of Mr. Gagne's other books I had never gotten around to buying this one. I should of bought it way back when it came out. This book is great, it has all the best of what Michel Gagne' does, writing and illustrating. Get one for yourself.
