In this graphic novel interpretation of 'Jack and the beanstalk,' Jack thinks of himself as a criminal mastermind - with an unfortunate amount of bad luck. A schemer, a trickster...maybe even a thief? But, of course, he's not out for himself - he's trying to take the burden off his hardworking mum's shoulders. She'd understand, right? He hopes she might even be proud.Then, one day, Jack chooses a target a little more...'giant' than the usual, and as one little bean turns into a great big building-destroying beanstalk, his troubles really begin. But with help from Rapunzel and other eccentric friends, Jack just might out-swindle the evil giants and put his beloved city back in the hands of the people who live there, whilst catapulting them and the reader into another fantastical adventure.
