Sign in for personalised guidanceThis is an adventure about two young people from opposing populations whose friendship brings hidden injustice into view. Its imaginative giant-built city provides a route into questions about prejudice, power, exploitation and environmental responsibility.
Jacq, a human giant-hunter’s daughter, and Corman, a giant, come from populations that regard each other as enemies.
Humans hunt giants for their bones and use them in homes, buildings and the walls of Fathach.
The story is described as showing how friendship and courage can help set right a world that has gone astray.
The premise includes giant hunting, a child losing a parent, and buildings made from giant bones. These elements may merit attention if a reader is particularly affected by harm to families or living beings.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the current material supports only a cautious reading; another book-specific source is still needed.
