(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Jeff Himmelman. In this unusual fantasy, bullied boy Jat meets a giant who has been banished from his home for introducing reading and science. The pair's budding friendship is interrupted by the arrival of other giants bent on destruction, leading to lots of action. The basic premise (an investigation of power and respect) is worth exploring, and John Himmelman's world-building is inventive.
