The Librarian (Book Two: Unhappily Ever After)
“One of them looked back and barked an order. "Keep working, you! This won't take—" The Tinman bashed the Gnome with his hammer before he could finish. Several children threw themselves on top of him, doing their best to pin him to the ground. When he finally came to his feet again, the Gnome had a skinny boy on his back and a little girl wrapped around one of his legs. He was no match for the nimble children. They held tight as he swatted and shrugged, clumsily trying to shake free from their grip.
This was how much of the battle progressed. The Tinman would send a Gnome crashing to Earth with his hammer, and the kids would pounce and try to keep him there. They weren't winning, exactly. Even the Tinman's rage-powered hammer wasn't enough to hurt the Gnomes – they were made of stone, after all. To the Gnomes, the village children were a nuisance more than anything else. But they were slowing them down. And distracting them.
The plan had worked to perfection.
