Judith McQuoid was born in Belfast but grew up partly in Texas. She now lives in a small village in Northern Ireland, deep in the countryside but close to the city. Her homeland, its landscapes, and folklore inspire her to write authentic, enchanting stories for young people. Giant is her first middle-grade novel.

"A heartwarming and wonder-filled tale ... I highly recommend the book for all ages, but especially those children and ‘children-at-heart’ who’ve been enchanted by the stories of C.S. Lewis and know something of childhood wonder, the joys of reading, true friendship, and the bittersweet nature of growing up."
