LitPick Review
Nick is a boy who was abandoned at a young age. He has realized that the only way to survive is to steal. He even joins up with a bunch of older thieves. One of his first missions is to go inside an old man's house named Jack, the one who climbed up the beanstalk. Once Nick gets inside he gets intrigued by the story and takes some magical beans from Jack and plants them. Soon a beanstalk grows. As Nick climbs up he realizes this isn't just for the treasures, but for saving the world from two huge Ogres.
Opinion:
This book was very good. It had a lot of description and the description of the ogres made me feel like I was facing them. It also was very true about the regular jack-and-the-beanstalk story. Every thing seemed to perfectly match. I was also surprised to learn some things about the story that I did not know. The Thief and the Beanstalk was very suspenseful with new plots coming up around every corner.
