When fourteen-year-old Jessica Graves was sent to spend the summer at her aunt's house in the countryside, she was definitely not pleased. She had much better things to do with her summer vacation. But that all changed when she discovered an ancient, red leather-bound book in her aunt's library.
The first time she opened it, Jessica found herself, quite literally, inside a world of magic and wonder. And she had been eagerly awaiting a chance to return to the Magical Realms ever since.
However when that chance finally comes, she does not meet a charming prince and princess, and dashing knights in shining armour like she did the first time. Instead, she encounters a giant named Jup-Jup who is searching for more of his kind. As this unlikely duo travels together, Jessica discovers much about giants, and Jup-Jup learns how to live in a world of humans. The two share many adventures, including an encounter with unscrupulous giant hunters, a battle with a fearsome swamp creature, and a run-in with rogue, man-eating giants. Through it all, Jessica learns once again about the value of friendship and the necessity of doing the right thing-even when that might not be the easiest thing to do.
Oh, and by the way, their search is successful, and Jup-Jup finally finds more giants... but then what happens?
