Beneath the undergrowth, a forgotten world stirs.
In the quiet Malaysian village of Seri Gunung Pulai, two curious schoolchildren uncover an ancient dagger buried near the forest waterfall—one that shouldn’t exist, crafted for a hand no larger than a child's. Their science teacher, Cikgu Azam, sets out to investigate, but what he discovers upends everything: a hidden civilization of tiny people—the Silungites—who have lived unseen for generations.
As young scout Suluh dares to reimagine his people's place in the forest, he begins forging an unthinkable alliance—with the wild civets themselves. But when a deadly eagle descends from the sky, Suluh’s courage is put to the ultimate test, and the Silungites are forced to confront not just nature’s dangers—but the looming threat of discovery by giants.
Told in rich, cinematic prose, Little People: Beneath Giant Shadows is a breathtaking eco-fantasy about survival, trust, and the power of small voices in a vast and changing world.
