Description

The first in a brand new middle grade fantasy series for fans of Rick Riordan, following a young giant who joins forces with a mermaid and a gnome to bring magic back.

Tiny Wilde is not exactly hero material. Yet.

At twelve years old, he's a giant who hasn't had his growth spurt. He wears Star Wars pyjamas to bed. And he lives in an abandoned warehouse away from human society. Tiny doesn't even have the super strength all giants should have because Mythics lost their magic years ago. Oh, but he can make a spectacular grilled cheese sandwich.

Tiny's nothing like his dad, a legendary giant famous for his heroic quests and ridiculously awesome hair. So when Tiny's mermaid friend, Nalia, recruits him for a dangerous adventure to revive the long-lost magic, Tiny jumps at the chance to prove he can be a hero. And when Tiny's dad is captured by villainous forces, completing the quest becomes a matter of life or death.

With the help of a cantankerous gnome named Podge, Tiny and Nalia must outwit shape-shifters, fight off attacking pixies, and heal the extraordinary ancient creature responsible for all Mythic magic.

With an incomplete prophecy, a perilous journey, and an unlikely set of allies, How to Kidnap a Mermaid invites you on the quest of a lifetime.

The first in a brand new middle grade fantasy series for fans of Rick Riordan, following a young giant who joins forces with a mermaid and a gnome to bring magic back.
