The Bromeliad

To the thousands of tiny nomes living under the floorboards of a large department Store, there is no Outside. No Day or Night, no Sun or Rain - they're just daft old legends. Until they hear the devastating news that the Store is to be demolished and they must learn to operate machinery - a truck - to find a new home. And so their journeys begin. From the Store to an abandoned quarry - where they find the monster Jekub - and on to a place where they must steal one of those space shuttle things, all the nomes want is to get home again. They don't mean to cause any trouble.
