Once upon another time / James Riley.
Lena has a problem: she is a twelve-year-old giant child, but she is still only the size of a human: rejected by the giant king, she and her enormous talking cat, Rufus, go down to the human world seeking some magic that will restore her to her rightful status; Jin is a twelve-year-old genie, not yet allowed his full powers, and at the moment tied, for two more wishes, to the Golden King, an annoying, nasty tyrant who has sent him on a quest--and when these two children meet all the kingdoms may be changed forever.

Storybook characters collide in this first book in a new trilogy of twisted fairy tales from New York Times bestselling author James Riley, set in the world of his popular Half Upon a Time seriesâperfect for fans of Fablehaven and Chris Colferâs A Tale of Magic series!
Five and a half feet might seem pretty tall for a twelve-year-old, but itâs not when your parents are giants. Lena has kept the fact that sheâs a tiny giant secret, using magic to grow when out in the giant village. But hiding who she is has always felt wrong, even though she knows the other giants might not accept her. Fortunately, Lena has friends down in the Cursed City who understand that looking different doesnât make her less of a giant.
Someone who knows not to judge by appearances is Jin, a young genie currently serving one thousand and thirty-eight years of genie training that requires him to fulfill the wish of whoever holds his magical ring. In Jinâs case, itâs the power-hungry Golden King. At least the king only has two wishes left, one of which is for Jin to go to the Cursed City and capture its protector, the Last Knightâone of Lenaâs closest friends.
What Lena and Jin donât know is how close the Golden Kingâs plans are to coming together, between his dark magic and his horrible Faceless knights. If Jin does find the Last Knight and bring him to the Golden King, why, that could doom the entire fairy-tale world.
â¦This sounds like itâll end badly, doesnât it?
