"A truly exceptional fantasy adventure. A big, epic world with characters that will capture your heart. I loved it." AF Steadman, author of Skandar

"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." Pádraig Kenny

"A stunning debut – crackles with myth and magic. A triumph!" Patricia Forde
