Folklore, fantasy and adventure combine in the BIGGEST debut of the year.
Skandar meets The BFG in this powerful, cinematic middle grade adventure from a stand-out new Irish voice.
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.
In the city of Fathach, giant hunters are equivalent to local heroes. The city's walls are built from giants' bones, and the townsfolk rely on their elite hunters to keep them not only prosperous, but safe. As everybody knows, giants are wild, violent, senseless creatures … aren't they?
Twelve-year-old Jacq Dyer is the daughter of two renowned hunters - although she's never wanted to follow in their footsteps. When she finds herself lost and injured in the wilderness outside the city walls, she comes face to face with Corman, a young giant.
Could everything she's ever been told be a lie, and might there be a way to bring their two worlds together?
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.
Christopher Galvin is an Irish author based in Dublin, and studied scriptwriting, acting and directing and made multiple short films before starting his role in television as a presentation editor. He has been shortlisted for numerous writing awards, and The Thing About Giants is his first novel.
