Summary
In a society where a person's size is directly proportional to his or her wealth, little poor Warner, thirteen, and Prayer, fifteen, struggle to improve their lot in a world built against them.
Warner and his sister Prayer live in a society where a person's size is directly proportional to his or her wealth. The poorest are the size of rats; billionaires the size of skyscrapers. Warner and Prayer are destitute-- and tiny. Their size is not just demeaning, but dangerous: being mauled by cats; no cars or phones built small enough for them, or schools or hospitals, for that matter. Their only hope is to scale up. It seems impossible-- but they're going to try.
