In Jack and the Giant’s Bargain, book two of the Adventures of Jack series, Jack finally begins to feel at home in the village of Lismore after rescuing his little sister from the clutches of a goblin. Then Jack receives an unexpected request from his best friend’s uncle to help him resolve a problem with his mysterious business partner—a partner who is unnaturally tall and who seems to have magical powers. Jack reluctantly agrees to go, but he quickly realizes that it will take all his wits and courage to escape the giant’s bargain…

Jack dreams of becoming a great warrior like his father, even though he’s not sure he’ll ever be big enough. But when his father doesn’t return from fighting the Viking invaders, Jack knows he has to step up to protect his family. After he has to move to a different village, he meets new friends, makes new enemies, and discovers strange new places. And when an unseen menace threatens his loved ones, Jack must rely on his wits and courage to unravel the secret of the Hollow Hill.
