Riassunto

A giant-sized adventure story from bestselling author Julia Donaldson. Every giant knows beanstalks and little people don't exist. Almost every giant, anyway . . . When Jumbeelia's curiosity leads her to a real-live bimplestonk at the edgeland of Groil and down, down, down into Colette, Stephen and Poppy's lives, the children find themselves in BIG trouble! They're desperate to get home - but it's not easy when even the wasps are giant sized! This upside-down fairy tale is perfect for fans of Roald Dahl and David Walliams, as well as children who enjoyed The Gruffalo when they were younger. Julia Donaldson was a previous UK Children's Laureate and has been honoured with an MBE. 'The Giants and the Joneses had humour, suspense and an invented language that enthralled me' Evening Standard

Su questo libro

Descrizione del libro:

Jumbeelia, a girl giant, loves the stories of the iggly plop who climbed up the bimblestonk and was chased back down again by a giant. Growing her own bimblestonk, she climbs down it and finds a whole world of iggly plops - our world, in fact, where Colette, Stephen and Poppy are very surprised to find themselves collected up into a bag and carried off back up the beanstalk. So begins a wild and wonderful tale of how three children escape from an overenthusiastic giant girl, her very-pregnant giant mum, and her very nasty adolescent giant brother.
