Chris currently works in television as a presentation editor. This is his first novel for young people.\u003ch4\u003eReviews\u003c\/h4\u003eGalvin is a highly cinematic writer, and his vivid descriptions and cliffhanger chapters will appeal just as strongly to less confident readers. At heart, The Thing About Giants is a lyrical story of how friendship can transcend inherited hostility, and it recalls the enduring appeal of classics such as The Iron Man. * The Telegraph *\u003cbr\u003eThe Thing About Giants was imaginative and thoughtful. I can imagine that it could lead to a lot of discussion about the way people treat others, as this is definitely a lesson that can be translated into real life scenarios. * jakes.books via instagram *","brand":"Christopher Galvin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49241066438873,"sku":"9781529538472","price":17.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0502\/9530\/8441\/files\/9781529538472.jpg?v=1789264510","url":"https:\/\/www.arielbooks.com.au\/products\/the-thing-about-giants-9781529538472","provider":"Ariel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
