There is so many things happening at once. I am just amazed how the author could cope with that.

I liked how the giants came alive again and Marcus made friends with one of them and i like how it ended on a positive aspect of everyone all being friends.

I didn’t like all of the giants but Crom was nice. My favourite character was Marcus but he was very naughty.

This book is about a boy called Marcus who instead of having a suspention has to go to a new school called Merlins. Determined to get expelled Marcus sneaks out at night but instead he makes a new friend and finds out giants are planning to ruin the human race. My favorite characters are Minnie and Crom.

This book is about a boy called Marcus who, to avoid a suspention, has to go to a school called Merlins. He is determined to get thrown out for bad behaviour but discovers a giant and has to save London and potentially the whole world! My favorite characters are Minnie and Crom. I recommend this book to someone who enjoys books about fairytales and giants.

I liked it because there was a boy in the wizard school and nobody believed him besides the giant. Also because it was a fantasy book which I like

It was really good. There were giants who tried to destroy the human race but the main character, called Marcus, talked to the giants and they decided that they wouldn’t. They went back to sleep instead!

I enjoyed that there was a good and bad side. One of the bad sides joined the good.
