This is a story of both friendship and adventure, and one where goodness conquers evil. A young orphan girl is swept away to the land of giants, where she is surrounded by child-eating giants. But her captor is not like the others; he is friendly. A friendship is forged between them, and together they set out to put an end to the monstrous deeds of the giants. In an often humorous tone, this story illustrates how two courageous friends can restore hope and goodness in the face of evil.
