Jack and The Giant

14-year-old Jack Spriggins is a curious and strong-willed boy who lives in a small town in Scotland. As a child, he was told stories of the fantastical beasts who roamed the lands and seas of Scotland. He was told about the stingy gargoyles, the beautiful sirens and of course the mighty giants. He was curious and dreamed of one day meeting the wondrous creatures. However, all of that changed when the war commenced. All the mysterious creatures fought against humans and all Jack had left was stolen from him. Following the human victory, most of the fantastical beasts were killed and those who still lived were in hiding. Jack lost all hope of ever seeing a siren or a harpy or even a giant. But one day, as he is in a town looking to sell his goat, he stumbles upon a merchant who sells him something bizarre in exchange for his goat. It is a deal that will change his life forever...

The Giant lives all alone in his palace, not having anything but a pet goose. His life was ravaged by the War of Giants, a war which took away everything he ever had. He trusts no one besides himself. He is afraid that if he ever loves another person, that person will be taken away from him. But an unlikely visitor may turn his life upside down and change his point of view on humans, or destroy him and make him lose his life.

Jack and The Giant is a retelling of the beloved classic Jack and The Beanstalk that will surely change your point of view on the infamous tale.
