Jack and George's Gigantic Adventures

By Leslie Marlow

Jack and George's Gigantic Adventures is a "fractured fairy tale" based on the classic tale of Jack and the Beanstalk. Targeted to middle grade readers, Jack and George's Gigantic Adventures is a modern adventure that captures the original fairy tale while giving it many new plot twists. In this story, Jack is a 10 year old boy who lives with his single, working mother. Jack goes on the adventure of a lifetime after he gets some magic beans from his neighbor's talking cat. Jack's magic beans grow into a beanstalk that he climbs into the sky where he finds a giant named George, who he takes home with him. When Jack tries to hide George, that's when the real problems begin. Themes of bullying and making new friends, along with magical new adventures, make this a fantastic read for middle grade students. The book includes such themes as compassion and kindness towards others with the hope that young readers will get a sense of what being an outsider is like and finding out that they aren't so different themselves. Jack and George's Gigantic Adventures is partly about learning life's lessons and partly about having fun adventures.
