"I wish fairytales were real," sighed little Lucy. And that was all it took for Hector and his band of merry friends to go in search of a real giant. There was a rumor that a new, enormous, shadowy stranger was living in the Forbidden Marsh beyond the forest . . . and since it was not a bear it must be a fairytale giant! With twists and turns and a capsized boat, the five friends venture far from home and make a surprising discovery — a huge discovery!

Hector Fox and the Giant Quest is the first in a series of books that follow the delightful adventures of Hector and his charming band of unique friends: Mo Marten, Charlie Chipmunk, Jeremiah Rabbit, and Lucy Skunk. Join the gang as they seek adventure, hunt giants, solve mysteries, and build friendships in modern-day tales reminiscent of the famed The Wind in the Willows.

About the Author

Astrid Sheckels, a native of the small farming town of Hatfield, Massachusetts, cannot remember a time when she was not telling or illustrating stories. Her illustrations are primarily done in watercolor. Starting with a storyboard, she creates countless sketches and pencil drawings in the process of developing the layout of the book. Astrid goes on location photo shoots to discover the right setting, and bases each of her illustrated characters on real people. Nic and Nellie is one of her most beloved books that she both wrote and illustrated. She also illustrated the award-winning titles The Scallop Christmas (2009) and The Fish House Door (2010), as well as Hope Somewhere in America (2012), Black Cloud (2012), and Tennessee Rose (2012). Astrid has won the Archibald MacLeish Prize for Art and the Medici Award in the Visual Arts. Astrid now lives in Greenfield, Massachusetts.
