9+ Imagine you have turned into a giant!

The Thing About Giants:    In a world where giants exist and are hunted down by humans, an unlikely friendship between a human girl and a boy giant leads to hidden truths being revealed . . .  Exploring themes of colonisation, the environment and 'othering', this engaging adventure also shows how friendship and courage can help set things right in a world that has gone astray.

Creative Challenge from Christopher Galvin:  Imagine you become a giant!

My challenge to readers is this: Imagine you woke up one morning and you had grown so big, you had smashed through the roof of your home!... Congratulations, you've turned into a giant!

How do you feel? Are you scared or excited? Now that you're GIGANTIC, what's the first thing you're going to do? Will you use your new giant size and strength for good or for (dundundun) evil?

Write a short piece to describe how you feel as a giant, and what you're going to do! Draw a picture of your giant self, if you feel like it 😊
