The Giant From the Fire Sea

The Giant from the Fire Sea is a middle-grade adventure about a boy and a giant―and a friendship that defies all odds from writer John Himmelman and illustrator Jeff Himmelman.
Jat is a boy who wants more from life than collecting coal from the Fire Sea.
Newton is a misfit giant, cast out of his homeland for his love of science and reading.
Brought together by chance, the two become the best of friends. But when enemy giants threaten to ruin everything, it’s up to Jat and Newton to defend Jat’s village, leading to the journey of a lifetime.
