After her friend Dickie contracts polio, Laurie Valentine entertains him, as well as Carolyn and Chip, two other kids in the hospital, by telling them a story. Her tale features Collosso, a rampaging giant, and Jimmy, a tiny boy whose destiny it is to become a slayer of giants.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLaurie's storytelling allows the sick children to forget their grim reality. And as they begin to recognize their counterparts in the tale, they suddenly take on active, heroic roles. In fact, Laurie's story is so powerful that when she's prevented from continuing it, Dickie, Carolyn, and Chip all help bring the story of Collosso and Jimmy to an end--changing the lives of those in the polio ward in startling ways.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50063967420666,"sku":null,"price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/6331\/6474\/files\/9780440239710.jpg?v=1790547770","url":"https:\/\/rowhaven.com\/products\/the-giant-slayer","provider":"Rowhaven Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
