The Thing About Giants

"A stunning debut - crackles with myth and magic. A triumph!" Patricia Forde, Irish Children's Laureate

Jacq Dyer is the daughter of renowned giant hunters and is soon to follow in their footsteps. Everyone knows that giants are violent, senseless creatures ... aren't they?

But when an accident leaves Jacq lost and injured in the wilderness, she comes face-to-face with Corman, a young giant.

As they uncover the truth about each other's worlds, they find that not all tall tales are true - and that it's up to them to set things right.

With the sweeping adventure of Impossible Creatures, the unlikely friendship of The Last Bear and the action and pace of Skandar, this is the must-read middle-grade adventure of the year.
