The Lambkins

The Lambkins is one of Eve Bunting's latest releases. Evil Mrs Shepherd (and she really is evil!) has kidnapped Kyle, Mac, Tanya, and Lulu. She is holding them hostage in her home, but not exactly..... What do I mean?
All the kids have been injected with a shrinking formula which was invented by Dr. Magnus Shepherd, a famous genetic scientist. Each week Mrs Shepherd gives them the shot which keeps them at a height of about 8 inches! They live inside a dollhouse in the Shepherd basement!
Escaping becomes the focus of everyone's efforts. After much planning, Kyle is able to escape in a bag of dirty laundry. He is tossed into the washing machine. He does manage an exciting escape, only to chased and caught by Mrs. Shepher in a butterfly net.
Will the four ever find their way out of the house? Read the book and find out!
