There is a Secret Giant in Gableview who has hands the size of
tabletops, legs as long as drainpipes, and feet as big as rowing boats.
But little Billy thinks the Giant is just a tall tale that his grandad
likes to tell. According to Grandad, the Giant keeps the bears away when
they go camping and rescues Billy's favorite kite when it gets tangled
up in the tallest tree. Grandad swears the Giant is real, but Billy's
not buying it. Why has he never seen the giant before? Why does the
Giant stay hidden? Grandad knows why: People are afraid of things that
look different. When Billy suddenly finds himself face-to-face with the
Giant, he runs away in fear--and hurts the Giant's feelings. But now
he's got an opportunity to make it up to him, and, just maybe, to be
friends with the nicest guy in town.
