Prací prášok spôsobí, že Hňatliakovci sa postupne zmenšujú, až sa stanú súčasťou mikrosveta takmer neviditeľného voľným okom. Vo svojej miniatúrnej podobe začnú účinkovať v úspešnej televíznej šou. Voľne nadväzujúce príbehy nielen pobavia a vtiahnu deti do sveta fantázie, ale obsahujú aj isté ponaučenie, napríklad príbeh Trampoty s vodou je o chlapcovi, ktorý sa nerád umýva, a pred ktorým voda uteká s panickým strachom. Knižku dopĺňajú milé farebné ilustrácie Kataríny Gasko.

Fame, freddo, preghiere e punizioni. Questa è la vita di Cale da dieci anni, cioè da quando è stato portato nel Santuario dei Redentori, dove si venera il figlio di Dio, morto per lavare i peccati del mondo. Adesso Cale di anni ne ha quattordici e lo attende la stessa sorte degli altri ragazzi prigionieri nel Santuario: diventare un soldato nella guerra contro gli Avversatori. Ma Cale è diverso dai suoi coetanei. È diverso da chiunque i Redentori abbiano mai allevato, perché è lui il predestinato.
