Warm-hearted, funny, and quietly magical, A Giant Tale is a coming-of-age story about bravery, friendship, first love-and discovering that the world is far stranger and more wonderful than we're told.
What if the scariest thing about high school wasn't bullies-or girls-but the truth?
Fern is a painfully awkward sophomore who already has enough to worry about:
- a bully who seems to hate him
- a crush on the smart, fearless Manda
- and a talent for humiliating himself at exactly the wrong moments
Then Fern finds something: impossible evidence that a giant may be living among the cottonwoods along the Rio Grande.
His brilliant best friend Divit insists it's a prank. Manda is curious but skeptical. And Fern? He's caught between wanting to prove he's right-and fearing what will happen if he is.
As Fern navigates embarrassing encounters with Manda's family, run-ins with an aggressive dog, and escalating clashes with a jealous bully, the mystery deepens-and so does his courage. What begins as a series of laugh-out-loud misadventures builds toward a stunning confrontation at the homecoming dance-one that will leave the characters questioning what they believe.
Perfect for readers, young or adult, who love humor, heart, and a touch of the extraordinary.
