Imagine innocence of Light, the meek and good among us being unexpectedly consumed into a void of darkness. Imagine a world gone wrong as darkness overwhelms the Light - offering little hope in a world gone wrong. Imagine circumstances beyond your control from which your life will inexplicably never ever be the same. Imagine anyone being stripped of their identity with no past, present, or future while wandering misplaced with a tortured disability and terrifying existence, within an empty space of nothingness. What could you do - where would you go - how might you survive? Can there be any hope in hopelessness? Imagine being in such a dark place and how you might find ANY truth, peace, love, hope, joy, enlightenment, and your heart's desire in the face of such adversity? First and foremost, Never, Ever Give Up... Beyond that can only be found in Littluns. Secret to the rest of the world is the protected, self contained, pure and peaceful valley of Hollow Hills. The outside world below holds little interest to Littluns. It's not that they don't know about such things and what goes on out there; they know very well about the chaos and discord and the importance of remaining removed from such things. However, once every year or two, the Town Council selects five of its citizens to journey down Powder Mountain into the outside world. It's a scavenger hunt. The only rules are that anything they bring back must not belong to anyone. No one ever worries about the rules because every Littlun is taught, from a very young age, that stealing is wrong and no Littlun would ever consider such an act - it just wouldn t be Littlun. Now, it should be noted that this is not just any outing. It is very dangerous and requires much skill and knowledge. The journey down the mountain is treacherous. No one looks forward to being selected, but each accepts the responsibility in the knowledge that they are fulfilling a community obligation. This is one of those days for a scavenger hunt. ...and nothing will ever be the same. LITTLUNS: and the book of darkness is an epic animated, fantasy, mythological adventure, and journey into a volatile unknown that will stir the reader's every emotion while presenting real-life examples that everyone can relate to. It is a story of extreme good and innocence in a world of chaos from the resulting seductive effects of evil. It clearly defines the differences and becomes the family friendly alternative. If readers are looking for a different reading experience that will keep them on the edge of their seat, and then touch their heart, they'll find it in LITTLUNS: and the book of darkness.

Review for Novel The Littluns by Mark Glamack
The Littluns is a wonderful story! The characters immediately draw you into this fantasy novel. Once inside the story, you feel yourself transported into this world of magic. Awesome.
The Littluns is an adventure about friendship, loyalty, courage and determination. The main character has to face a task which involves life and death. While others before him who have been given this task have returned successfully, there is still a chance that he may not. The character must rely on his strength and courage to complete the task and return home. He experiences fear, sadness, danger and ultimately a feeling of joy as he completes the task. Along the way, he strengthens the bonds with his friends who are traveling with him and develops new friendships too. I, also, experienced these same feelings while reading the Littluns.
There is a struggle between good and evil that is similar to that of the Harry Potter series because the main characters use their courage, determination and a little bit of magic to overcome the forces of evil.
I found the setting and the rest of the characters very intriguing. The way they go about doing their every day things made me interested in reading more. I loved the way the author displayed the strong friendships in the novel. The friends are supportive of each other and each others ideas and opinions. They are loyal to each other even when separated by evil. He gives a wonderful example of what true friendships should be!
I was always excited to read further in the Littluns to see what was going to happen next, who was going where, who was going to do what, and how they succeeded in overcoming their fears. I hope the author writes a sequel to the Littluns because I would like to see what happens to this world when evil no longer rules. I thought the Littluns was an inspiring story of loyalty and hard work. It is a great book for students and adults alike.
