SOLVED. Weird childrens book about a man who makes people small and places them in a tiny town in his loft? [s]

[Macauley]

I remember reading a book from my school library and I have forgotten the name and only remember little bits about it, here they are.

A scary tall man who kidnaps everyone who knocks on his door, he gives them a potion or puts a spell on them and makes them tiny (figurene size) and then tranports them to his makeshift city on the table in his loft.
When they're on this makeshift city, they live there and what ever else but if they don't eat they turn into stone. Every night on this makeshift city a ghostly animal comes out and tries to eat of all the people in the city.
The man who does this is really tall, and I remember him having to go to a bank one day. I think the story was that he had to adopt a little girl and then he ended up making the girl small and living on the table, the girl finds a way to get of the table with the help of everyone else on the table. They find crumbs on the table and eat them to survive.

The books target age is probably 11+, it had quite a long and weird title.

I've tried to type everything I can remember, wow remembering books is so hard. I'm sure I sound like a right freak, and the book sounds weird to but I'd love any help you could give me. Thanks.
