Jack: The True Story of Jack and the Beanstalk

Fairy tale fans will give a GIANT cheer for this funny retelling of Jack and the Beanstalk from theÂ New York Times Bestselling author of Rump and Red!

All his life, Jack has longed for an adventure, so when giants turn up in the neighbor's cabbage patch, he is thrilled! Soon Jack is chasing them to a land beyond the clouds, with his little sister, Annabella, in tow. The kingdom of giants is full of super-sized fun: puddings to swim in, spoons to use as catapults, monster toads to carry off pesky little sisters. . . .
Â Â Â Â Â But Jack and Annabella are on a mission. The king of the giants has taken something that belongs to them, and theyâ‚¬ll do anythingâ‚¬"even dive into a smelly tureen of green bean soupâ‚¬"to get it back.

â‚¬Å“Liesl Shurtliff has the uncanny ability to make magical worlds feel utterly real, and the best part is: you donâ‚¬t even need a beanstalk to visit them.â‚¬Â â‚¬"Tim Federle, author of Better Nate than Ever
