Jack, the Giant Killers, and the Bodacious Beanstalk Adventure

An expanded and thrilling version of the classic Jack and the Beanstalk tale. We meet Jack and the colorful characters that join him in a breathtaking adventure to free the magical land of Ooom from the evil Thunder giant Gorgo and his cruel family.

When a cruel thunder giant embarks on a quest to extract an all-powerful Crown from the mystic recesses of the Hateful Gate, it falls to a poor farm boy named Jack and a rag-tag bunch of teenagers to stop him. For Jack and his gang, stopping the giant will mean an adventure in the the wondrous land of Ooom that none of them had ever imagined. But the biggest feat of all might be if they can find a way to get along with one another long enough to prevent Gorgo from achieving all power.
