(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Adam Rex. On planet Yipsmix, where everyone has synesthesia, Jaq is a normal, poor kid. When Jaq must sell his pet freasel, Klingdux, he comes home with a worthless key. Facing his mother's wrath, Jaq seeks the treasure his key promises and passes through a magic door into a giant-filled mall...on Earth. Grau offers a humorous and adventure-filled retelling of "Jack and the Beanstalk" with a sci-fi twist.
