This book is an astonishing, unique feat of the imagination’\u003cbr\u003e\ni News\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFrom critically acclaimed author Nicola Skinner, her most brilliant book yet – a darkly comic story about staying true to yourself and the people you love, even if it means tearing everything down . . .\u003cbr\u003e\n There’s absolutely nothing wrong with Minnie’s island. Nothing, that is, apart from the earthquakes, which pull buildings and schools and houses down on a regular basis.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nLuckily, the island’s inhabitants have found a way to fix their crumbling walls: giants. Giants look after human children, like eleven-year-old Minnie. When Minnie turns twelve, she’ll kiss her giant, turning her into a stone statue forever. The stone will be used to repair buildings. And there’s nothing wrong with that either . . . or so Minnie thinks.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBut when a dreadful earthquake strikes, Minnie realises she’s not quite ready to say goodbye to her giant – not forever – not yet. So Minnie goes on the run, betraying her parents and everyone she knows. The secrets she uncovers on her journey threaten to pull everything down: and so begins a desperate race against time in which she will confront the truth about her island, her giant . . . and ultimately herself.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44250497646750,"sku":"HPC-9780008422462","price":16.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780008422462.jpg?v=1724932773","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780008422462","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
