Why read it?

1 author picked I Kill Giants as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I love the way the reader is transported into Barbara’s world–a world in which she goes to school like a normal kid but moonlights as a giant-slayer–and you’re not quite sure what’s real.

I was rooting for her the whole time but also trying to figure her out. Her journey to conquer her giants, both real and imaginary, is inspiring.
