Giant

£18.99

‘Giant’ is a wordless, graphic novel inspired by the journey of the author’s brother after being diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and how our their family were affected. The main character wakes up one morning to find he has grown to the size of a giant, which acts as three metaphors: the physical mutation of cancer; the idea of feeling like the ‘elephant in the room’; but also, the ‘giant’ strength he takes away with him following his recovery. The illustrations have been created in ball-point pen on cartridge paper.

‘Wonderful, moving, original book. It teaches us a new visual language for love, for worry and for family.’
ROBERT MACFARLANE

‘Mollie Ray’s exquisitely rendered drawings guide us tenderly through this tale of family, courage, fear and joy.’ KATIE GREEN

The captivating and affecting graphic novel debut of a major new talent.

One morning, a teenage boy wakes to find that he has grown to the size of a giant.

Inspired by the journey of the author’s younger brother, this wordless wonder of a book follows the experience of a family as one of their own faces a life-threatening illness. As his health declines, can the family remain resilient on his long journey through treatment?

Deeply moving and tender, with gorgeous illustrations, Mollie Ray’s debut graphic novel is a resonant story of empathy, healing and hope.

‘Sumptuous [and] intriguing.’
BROKEN FRONTIER
