The Giants and the Joneses

This is a funny and fascinating new take on the "Jack and the Beanstalk" story from Blue Peter award-winning author Julia Donaldson.

Jumbeelia the young giantess loves to hear the story about the iggly plop who climbed up the bimplestonk to the giants' land of Groil.

Then, one day, she has a wonderful idea. She throws a bimple over the edge of Groil, and overnight it sprouts into a bimplestonk.

Down, down, down Jumbeelia climbs - right down into the land of the iggly plops: our world, where she discovers Colette, Poppy and Stephen, puts them into her canvas bag, and carries them off to Groil.

Soon the children find themselves shut in her dolls' house, with no visible means of escape.

Worse still, Jumbeelia's nasty older brother is on the loose, and he doesn't want to play nicely with his sister's new 'toys'.

With danger surrounding them at every turn, the children must use all their wits to survive and figure out a way to get back home...
