Step into the world of the Wits, who are fun loving little people that have lived secretly amongst humans since the beginning of time. Only six inches tall, the Wits are born human and are also given DNA of an insect or small animal (which gives them unique powers). Life is easy for them and their animal friends until bad weather and another group of Wits, called the Darklings, bring hard times to their valley. To survive, can their courage, love for one another and colony bond be their only chance for survival?
