What is The Smallest Girl Ever about?
Ruby Genie is the orphaned daughter of two famous magicians, but she cannot perform a single spell. When Ruby is expected to appear in a magic show, her embarrassment makes her shrink smaller and smaller until she can fit inside a handbag. With help from Aunt Hat, a kind but hopeless conjuror, Ruby sets off on a funny and surprising adventure. Along the way, she discovers that courage, cleverness and kindness may be the most extraordinary magic of all.
