Calamity Jack

    (Bloomsbury, 2010)

(from the publisher)

Action and thrills define this gangster-filled and hugely entertaining retelling of Jack and the Beanstalk. Jack thinks of himself as a criminal mastermind with an unfortunate amount of bad luck. But, of course, he’s not out for himself, he’s trying to take the burden off his hardworking mum’s shoulders. One day, Jack chooses a target a little more giant than the usual, and as one little bean turns into a great big building-destroying beanstalk, his troubles really begin!
