Hector Fox and the Giant Quest
“I wish fairy tales were real,” sighed little Lucy. And that was all it took for Hector and his band of merry friends to go in search of a real giant. There was a rumor that a new, enormous, shadowy stranger was living in the Forbidden Marsh beyond the forest . . . and it was not a bear . . . it must be a fairy-tale giant. With twists and turns and a capsized boat, the five friends venture far from home and make a surprising discovery . . . a giant discovery!
“With lessons of perseverance, the power of imagination, and the joy of friendship, this book hearkens back to a simpler time and is a wonderful read for children of all ages!”

“The gorgeous illustrations in this children's book took me back to being a young child . . . Just looking at the pages is a feast . . . Add in the story itself, which promotes a love of stories and the adventures they can take us on, and I am hooked. I can't wait to share it with all the little people in my life.”
