The case of a missing father is hard to crack . . . even for Felix, a tiny kid with a huge heart and an eye for detail.
Eleven-year-old Felix likes being the smallest kid in school.
At least he knows where he fits in. Plus his nickname, “Short-lock Holmes,” is
perfect for someone who’s killing it in forensic science club. To Felix, Growth
Hormone Deficiency is no big deal.
And then Felix learns that his biological dad was short, too. This one, tiny,
itty-bitty piece of information opens up a massive hole in his life.
Felix must find his father. He only has a few small clues to
work from, but as Sherlock Holmes said, “To a great mind, nothing is
little.”
The further Felix gets in his investigation, though, the more he starts to
wonder: What if his dad doesn’t want to be found? And what if Felix’s
family—his mom, his stepdad, the baby on the way—needs him right
where he is?
Tender and uplifting, this warm novel from Christopher Award–winner Carmella
Van Vleet celebrates little differences in us that can make a big impact.
A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection

My thoughts...
Nothing is Little is a fantastic middle-grade novel that many readers are sure to enjoy. Felix is the smallest kid in his class, but this doesn't bother him. He's comfortable with who he is and so are his friends. Still, his mom takes him to the doctor who notifies them that Felix has a growth hormone deficiency and is undergoing treatments.
It's Felix, his mom, her boyfriend, and a baby on-the-way. Together, they make a supportive, loving family. But Felix is curious about the biological dad he's never met and his mom barely talks about. When he joins the ferensic team at school, he learns how to piece together clue and how to questions others in order to uncover the truth. When he discovers his biologic dad was also short, he digs into his mom's past.
It was fun to follow Felix on his journey to discover more about his father as well as what he wants for himself. It's not all smooth sailing, but Felix is brave and strong and that's all he really needs to be.
