The Thing About Giants
€ 16.25
ISBN: 9781529530841
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.
Folklore, fantasy and adventure combine in the BIGGEST debut of the year.
"A stunning debut - crackles with myth and magic. A triumph!" Patricia Forde, Irish Children's Laureate
"A thrilling and immersive adventure with a giant heart." Pari Thomson, author of Greenwild
Jacq is the daughter of giant hunters.
Corman is a young giant on his first trip above ground.
Two stories, two lives and two worlds collide.
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.
"Warm, funny and filled with heart, this is a wonderful adventure. Chris Galvin is a new middle grade star." Padraig Kenny
"A gripping read from the first page that transports the reader into a world that is both fantastical and relatable. Giants is both a delightful read and a poignant one, that carries a message of kindness and empathy." Eilish Fisher, award-winning author of Fia and the Last Snow Deer
