![]() ![]() Can Sophie discover the final piece of the puzzle before the queen sends her troops after the giant? Once again the old fairy tales come to their rescue. While each attempt brings the giant closer to a restful night, his cranky stomping continues. At first he rejects her help, but her persistent kindness wins him over. ![]() Inspired by old tales of gingerbread houses, three bears, and peas under mattresses, Sophie offers the giant several remedies. She scales the magical beanstalk in the backyard in order to help the giant sleep so that she and her people can slumber peacefully, too.

The story is about 3 kids who are on a quest to find 3 magical books, known as the Books of Beginning.

While some may not like fantasy novels, I find that they have the capacity to let you escape from the chains of reality and make you believe, at least for the time that you are reading the book that magical things can happen. ![]() Otherwise, the story would not come out well and the reader will not enjoy the book at all.
