Girl Giant and the Monkey King

Girl Giant and the Monkey King | Van Hoang

3 posts | 3 read

From debut author Van Hoang comes Girl Giant and the Monkey King, a tale packed with magic, adventure, and middle-school woes—perfect for fans of Rick Riordan and Roshani Chokshi. Eleven-year-old Thom Ngho is keeping a secret: she’s strong. Like suuuuper strong. Freakishly strong. And it’s making it impossible for her to fit in at her new middle school. In a desperate bid to get rid of her super strength, Thom makes a deal with the Monkey King, a powerful deity and legendary trickster she accidentally released from his 500-year prison sentence. Thom agrees to help the Monkey King get back his magical staff if he'll take away her strength. Soon Thom is swept up in an ancient and fantastical world in where demons, dragons, and Jade princesses actually exist. But she quickly discovers that magic can’t cure everything, and dealing with the trickster god might be more trouble than it’s worth.

Nothing about middle school is easy. Thom is super strongā€”like out of this world strongā€”which makes her shy and awkward. She longs to be normal. When she accidentally releases the Monkey King he tells her he can take away her strength in exchange for her help. Desperate for a friend she believes him even when a new student tells her not to trust him. Mischief & mayhem ensue. This is a super fun middle grade adventure which continues in a sequel.

Girl Giant and the Monkey King | Van Hoang

Went looking for books for the children moving on to other schools this year :( I found Girl Giant and the Monkey King and think it‘s perfect for one child in particular :) I also found a cute book called Badger and Skunk(?), one called The Adventures of Boy, and for the first time picked up a blank book: for the Zombie Comic creator.
