In Amir’s house is a locked door: a room forbidden to him until he’s taller than the garden gnome. So every day, he strains and grunts and does his best to grow a fraction of an inch, but the plaster statue, as unflappable as it is unchanging, remains taller than he is. As a good little boy—but a curious and determined one!—Amir takes advantage of his parents’ absence to rummage through the secret room.
A refreshing tale of curiosity, the lure of the forbidden, and our irrepressible desire to grow up.
