A retelling of Jack and the Beanstalk, featuring Kate as the heroine, written by the same author of The Magic Treehouse series, a family favorite. When I cracked open the book, i realized I‘ve read this before, when Maya was younger! it‘s a charming retelling.
This TL book is a hilarious spin on the traditional Jack and the Beanstalk. Similar to Jack, there is still a singing harp, golden chicken/eggs, magic beans and climbing of the beanstalk. Kate is smart, resourceful, and fearless as she outsmarts the giant and returns all of the stolen belongings to the magic fairy in disguise. In the end, she learns that her family lived in the castle before the giant and the items actually belong to them!
