Valley of the Tall Ones - by Julie Given Hardcover

Book Synopsis

Riley Carter is used to farm chores, Battlebots at the hobby store, and her gramma's quiet rules-until a stolen notebook reveals the Titan gene and a hidden world of giants. When a giant boy falls into her life with a cracked Heartstone, Riley and her skeptical friend Milo are pulled into a friendship adventure unlike anything they expected.

To save him, the kids must set out on a quest through a wilderness mystery filled with roaring waterfalls, stinking blubber frogs, and the silent Wardens of the Valley. Their journey leads them toward a magical valley and the last hope of rebuilding the only thing that keeps the giants kind: a heart-shaped stone powered by rare Serenite and Lucidite-a form of glowing stone magic long thought lost.

If Riley fails, the giants will lose themselves-and her gramma's life may be the price.

A page-turning middle-grade fantasy adventure about courage, loyalty, and the cost of belonging.
