another bases-clearing triple for standiford

one of the most unsung children's writers working today (and the ghostwriter behind many of your favorites), standiford scores again with the stone giant. the book makes an american legend accesible to young readers without diminishing its mystery. as with her classic balto, standiford takes the raw stuff of real life and turns it into liquid gold. what we're left with is nothing short of a new subgenre in american literature: the phantasmagoric children's period piece.
