Livinitup | 2 comments I read it around 2012, but it seems a little older than that, maybe 90's. I believe in the tiny book, there was a whole world about little people, magic possibly involved. It would switch back between the boy's reality and the tiny book he was reading. There was a magnifying glass on the cover I believe. There was maybe something to do with playing cards or puzzles.

Librarian Jessie (BibliophileRoses) (toloveisdestroy) | 11 comments Is it The Solitaire Mystery by Jostein Gaarder?

It shares the magnifying glass cover and playing cards (Please note this cover is not featured on Goodreads: https://books.apple.com/us/book/the-s...). Each card is the title of a chapter of a story that he is using to hunt down his family member.
