About the Book
A young orphan girl is snatched from her bed in the middle of the night by a giant and taken to a land populated by enormous creatures — most of whom eat children. The one giant who took her is different from the rest, and together they devise a plan to stop the others. The story balances dark comedy with genuine warmth and inventive language.
