Description

Jumbeelia, a young giantess, loves the old story about the iggly plop who climbed up the bimplestonk to the giants' land of Groil. One day, she throws a bimple over the edge and climbs down into the land of the iggly plops, where she discovers Colette, Poppy, and Stephen Jones. She puts them into her canvas bag and carries them back to Groil, where they find themselves trapped in her dollhouse. Surrounded by danger, the children must use their wits to survive and find a way back home.
