From the Publisher
Noah Murphy carries his plastic "little guys" everywhere. One day, while sitting on the school bus with his younger brother, Jess, Noah makes a wish using magic powder from the toy machine.

Noah looks at his little guys--Commander Falcon and Sergeant Gordy and three headless green aliens.

"Let them all come to life, all my guys. And let me be their size, so I can have an adventure with them."

That's when the bus hits a bump and strange things start to happen. Will the fourth grade at Roosevelt School ever be the same again?

Very Short People in the Fourth Grade5
You have to be careful of what you wish for because it might come true. Noah, a fourth grader, got a magic set with wishing dust in it. He wished for something that he really wanted and it came true! I think all fourth graders should read this book because it is about fourth grade and it is a very humorous story.

OKAY. . .3
This book was a good book, but it could have been MUCH better! It was really humurous, though. Noah has these little action figures, and he want to have an adventure with the tiny guys. The next day, he gets a little magic kit. Noah uses it on the bus to school. He wishes with all his might that he could have an adventure with his little men. Guess what! The wish comes true! Well, I think you should read this book if you like a funny book, but if you wanat just a good book, I suggest you don't read it, but hey, it's your opinion!

Toy story was good this book is better5
To all readers, This book I'm still reading it is one of the greatest books Ive ever read. Its got action thrills laughs and three headless aliens from Saturn. The story is about a boy named Noah who collects action figures that he calls (His Guys) On the bus to school he wishes he and his guys/the aliens Gordy and commander falcon wpould come to life and he would shrink to there size and have an adventure. Read this book if you like actions or is in fourth grade.
