About the book:

There are giants in the land.

And it has always been so as far as anyone can remember. They work side-by-side with the people, and whenever there is a job too difficult or a threat too great they are there to step in. The giants’ presence gives the townspeople a special confidence about life. But they have become much more dependant on the giants than they realize. One morning the people discover the giants have mysteriously disappeared. Fear and panic grip the town. Someone must find them and bring them back!

Thomas, a young farmer, volunteers and sets out alone on a great journey of danger and discovery. Thomas learns the true nature of giants and what it means for him and his people. Join Thomas in his timeless rite of passage and learn what it means to become something more than you have been, why it is necessary in life, and how to do it.

My thoughts on the book:

I initially thought this was a children’s book, but it is definitely geared towards teens to young adult age readers,  not because of content, but the writing style.  It is a very clean book and younger kids could definitely read it, but it was too advanced for my son. I will read it to him eventually, though.  I enjoyed this book- it has a nice message.  It is written kind of like a parable with an underlying Christian theme of God and seeking out truth.  I liked the message it portrayed of a giant not being measured by his stature, but by the size of his heart.  It also talked about the different “giants” we have in our lives and how they have helped us along the way. In the book, the giants leave the town and the people have to learn to do things on their own, just as we have to learn to be strong and survive, too.  Then, once we have learned these lessons, we can be a guide to others.  The book has a nice message and I will look for the rest of the series when the come out in the future.
