With echoes of The BFG and How To Train Your Dragon, this is a classic tale about a girl and the giant she fights to protect.
Life is simple for Bonnie and her family until a huge creature is shipwrecked on their island beach. Bonnie discovers that the marooned monster's dreams are becoming real. One morning the Grontalim plunges the island into arctic winter and the next he dreams it into the sky, spiralling himself and Bonnie into fantastic misadventures. When the Grontalim conjures pirates to the island in search of gold, Bonnie must confront the wicked buccaneers, a mob of angry villagers and her own scheming grandmother. . .
Perfect for ages 8-12, this is the story of a brave girl who turns a hapless monster into a treasured friend.
