Description

Giant by Nicola Skinner is a darkly comic story about staying true to yourself, even if it means tearing everything down. On Minnie's island, giants look after human children and repair crumbling buildings with the help of stone statues made from twelve-year-old girls who have kissed their giants goodbye. When a dreadful earthquake strikes, Minnie realises she's not quite ready to say goodbye to her giant - not forever - not yet. So Minnie goes on the run, betraying her parents and everyone she knows. As she uncovers secrets on her journey, she must confront the truth about her island, her giant, and ultimately herself. This book is a unique feat of imagination that will leave readers laughing and crying all at once.
