Sean Dirts and the Hidden City is a children's superhero adventure novel by Don Shirts. Sean Dirts, a twelve-year-old boy, wakes up to find himself ten inches tall and traveling with his family to the village of Lilliput, where all inhabitants are "smalled" people. As Sean adjusts to his new life, he finds out that all of Lilliput's inhabitants have unique superpowers, including his family members. To Sean's surprise, Ms. Stepp tells him not to reveal his "mover" abilities when he accidentally stumbles upon them. He discovers he can also control animals, and with his newfound friend, Summer, hops on a bird for a ride and suddenly finds himself in the hidden city of Peteetneet. After unwittingly starting a rebellion, Sean must return to Lilliput and help its citizens face the might of the evil Shadrach.
Action-packed and filled with mystery, adventure, and intrigue, Sean Dirts and the Hidden City is one rollercoaster of a ride. As a reader, you don't know what to expect at any point in the story as the plot twists and turns its way to a climactic battle that will sate the appetites of any action-adventure lover. Don Shirts has written a brilliant superhero origin story for kids and young adults alike. You're never sure if your favorite characters are safe as the stakes are always high, especially after the midway point of the tale. I loved the friendships between Sean, Summer, and Luke and even enjoyed their interactions with Zach and Bert. The author leaves room for a sequel with the ending, and I hope to read it soon. Overall, this is a fantastic superhero story!
