The Thief and the Beanstalk

     This book is fill to the end of the page with all sorts of mystery, action, adventure, and suspense. So far the book has had a trader braking into a fortress and a giant beanstalk growing. Its happening just like jack and the beanstalk. The main character Nick has encountered 2 people in giant land he met the man who originally gave Jack the beans and the giants nice wife who is a prisoner to her own sons. His goal now is to either free the nice giant or take gold for himself.
     This book reminds me of The Lightning Thief because of a boar like thing that attacks Percy and in this book a giant boar attacks nick. There is also a lot of different mythical characters that can do extraordinary things. One other way these books connect is both books have at least one thing from the past that affects them in the future and has a major impact on the stories. Nick is exactly like Percy Jackson because they are the same age and according to the books the same looks. They also make the same little mistakes which causes catastrophic events.
      In the fist few chapters in which I started to read this book I began to think that this was not that great of a choice for a book. Now after the first 5-6 chapters this book is a real page turner and it also has great action. A thing that I am really sad about is a giantess (a girl giant) is kept prisoner by her own children and I just hope that my kids don't do that to me. If I was put in a scenario like Nick I would slay all the giants ,save the nice giantess and then take all the gold, and maybe somewhere in the middle grab a sandwich. My last thoughts to you are I really take the time to read tis book because I am not lying when I say this is on heck of a book.
