Jack, Mage Benedict & the Magic Beans – A modern fairytale with classic English roots

By Olga Guk

Once upon a time -- that is, before Wi-Fi, decaf coffee, and cat memes -- there lived a boy named Jack. He had no gold, no iPhone, but he did have a wonderful mom, a cow named Snow White, and an imagination so wild that the neighbors occasionally shivered in mild concern. Jack could make a slingshot out of a spoon, a boat out of a cabbage leaf, and breakfast out of absolutely nothing (which he often did, because food was... let's say, in short supply). He was kind, cheerful, and utterly hopeless -- especially when it came to making "important life decisions." Like, say... trading a perfectly decent cow for a handful of beans. And that's how the story begins -- one where magic grows straight out of the ground, giants become slightly less grumpy, and ordinary boys turn into something quite extraordinary. Because sometimes, to find your happiness, you just have to start doing something -- even if it's something ridiculously strange. Ready for adventure? Then crank your imagination up to full power and hold on tight to that beanstalk. We're heading up! A hilarious, heartwarming retelling of the classic tale. Perfect for readers 7+ and grown-ups who secretly still believe in magic... and caffeine.
