Lilliput War

Arkasha Sapozhkov, a young biologist, puts the experience of traveling to the microworld with the help of a cabin to reduce. Alice and Pashka help him. Along with the dangers in the form of beetles and kittens ready to eat a micronaut, Alice's grandmother Lucretius, who violates the privacy of young people. Lucretia looks like an ordinary elderly woman, but in reality she is an experienced illusionist and performs in a circus.

Having discovered that the diminished Arkasha does not get in touch, Alice goes to the microworld after him. And quickly becomes a prisoner of the midgets. A tiny pirate ship landed in the grass near Arkashin’s house, and its captain Panchenga Skuliti threatens to take over the whole Earth. To begin with, brave pirates engage in battle with a kitten, which is huge for them. But the appearance of the grandmother of Lucretia puts them to flight. Arkasha, Alice, and the slave Zauri who had nailed to them are free.

The enlarged midget Zauri does not remember her past until she was on the slave plantation of Panchenga Muliti, Skuliti's older brother. Some magician tried to buy her, but on the way the pirates abducted her again. No computer in the galaxy knows about the Lilliputian planet. Alice and Zauri decide to use the autopilot of a pirate boat to get to Pancheng base. On the way, they are again captured by Lilliput pirates. But upon arriving at the Panchengi sienda, they find themselves in shock: the familiar sienda has become gigantic. The secret reveals appeared magician Puccini-2: it was he who reduced the pirates in punishment for the fact that they abducted Zauri. Puccini, as it turned out, is also an old acquaintance and competitor to the grandmother of Lucretia, who was not slow to appear. By the power of magic, two magicians capture Siendu and free the slaves. But Panchenga Mulity escaped.

Using a memory scanner from Zauri’s memory, he manages to fetch the person who last called her real name - Lara Coralli. This man, named Foka Grant, knew her parents who had disappeared many years ago. Traces lead to the planet Walpurgey, where another friend of Coralli, Pan Vodichka, lives. He is terribly afraid of pirates, but still leads the girls to the pirate base in the desert. A third member joins the team, the Wag Bull Tail Indian. At the base of the pirates, both Panchengs and their dad are discovered. Mulity tries to feed the desert rabbits to Alice, but meanwhile Zauri and Vaga call for help from the center. Police escorted by Puccini and Lucretia save Alice and capture the base. Only Papa Panchenga escaped.

Almost desperate to find the parents of Lara-Zauri, friends are forced to resort to a deal with the younger Panchenga. Puccini-2 returns to him and his ship the normal size. For this, the pirates take Alice, Vaga and Puccini to the secret planet of the pirates, where Alice's old acquaintances, pirates of the Rats and Veselchak U , run the show . Panchenga Sr. boasts: leading scientists are sitting in his slaves, whom he forces him to invent novelties useful to him. Among them are the spouses of Coralli. Rats begin to bargain, extorting a part of scientists to themselves. It comes to a scuffle, in which Puccini paralyzes pirates with magic and forces them to free scientists. Veselchak U and Rats, deciding not to mess with the magician, good-naturedly let go of the whole company.
