Toby Alone
Toby Alone | Timothee de Fombelle
2 posts | 7 read | 1 to read
Toby Lolness may be just one and a half millimeters tall, but he’s the most wanted person in his world—the world of the great oak Tree. Toby’s father has made a ground-breaking discovery: the Tree itself is alive, flowing with vital energy, and there may even be a world beyond it. Greedy developers itch to exploit this forbidden knowledge, risking permanent damage to their natural world. But Toby’s father has refused to reveal his findings, causing the family to be exiled to the lower branches and finally sentenced to death. Only Toby has managed to escape—but for how long? And how can he bear to leave his parents to their terrible fate?

I read those when I was 14 years old. I really liked them. This year there was a big fuss around Tobie Lolness and I decided to read it again.
At 14, I didn't realised all the meanings. There are references about the WW2, as well as being a criticism of our society, and the slow destroying processus of the earth.
It's also really well written, and the story is heartbreaking/warming.
