She has promised to marry Jack, and he has promised to build her a beautiful house of stone. But after a terrible drought, their simple plans for happiness dry up and wither with the crops. Driven to desperation, Jack's father climbs a steep cliff and disappears into the clouds. Now "Crazy Jack" is obsessed with finding him and injures himself trying to climb the cliff again and again. Then one day, Jack's luck changes, and he is given the means to follow his father into the sky. But even with magic beans in hand, Jack will need great courage to follow his dream. This imaginative retelling of Jack and the Beanstalk will enchant listeners of all ages. Like her multi-award-winning Zel, the author offers a fascinating psychological spin on a well-known tale.
