Gulliver Mulligan is bigger than everyone else in his class. He is twice as tall, his shoes are big, even his hats are extra large. And poor Gulliver doesn't have any friends. One day, a new boy arrives in Gulliver's class - a very small, shy boy named Mortimer Goss. Mortimer and Gulliver are as different as can be, but when the class' fall outing takes a fateful turn, Gulliver Mulligan is faced with a challenge. He digs deep and finds new courage - courage that earns him not only a medal for bravery, but also a new best friend - Mortimer Goss.
