Harold is two inches tall, and lives as an orphan in his town's only school, Galidemus. Like the other students in his class, Harold must catch a dragonfly to ride-but when the big day comes, he is faced with a risky decision. The outcome could change his future forever. After the fateful decision is made, Harold discovers an unlikely ally in one of his teachers, a horrifying truth about the identity of his parents, and a plot that could threaten everything he knows. Suspicious activity in Galidemus begins to rise-a mysterious student suddenly arrives, a foul smell develops in a locked classroom, and a disturbing creature lurks in another.

Far Below Human Eyes is the tale of a student who wants nothing more than to fit in but is given a different story. With the twists and turns of betrayal, the exhilaration of a dragonfly flight, and the testing of true friendship, Harold begins to realize that what is often most important lies far below human eyes-

And that often, between life and the things that give it meaning, only one can be kept.
