Finn the Half-Great, Theo Caldwell’s first novel for young adults,<br />
tells the story of Ireland’s most beloved heroes with humor and<br />
heart. Finn McCool, at fourteen feet, thinks he is the tallest<br />
thing in the Emerald Isle. That is, until he ventures outside his<br />
childhood valley. Finn soon discovers that ancient Britain is a<br />
land of giants, dragons, wizards, and men, in which he is only<br />
one little fellow.<br />
Despite treating those about him as decently as he can, Finn<br />
finds he has enemies all over. Even before he was born, cruel<br />
creatures known as the Frost Giants killed Finn’s father and tried<br />
to do away with his mother. When Finn learns what befell his<br />
parents, his first order of business is to seek out the Frost Giants<br />
and take revenge.<br />
In later years, Finn becomes a calmer chap, living in idle bliss<br />
on his hill, known as Knockmany, with his beloved wife, Oonagh.<br />
But Finn the Half-Great’s troubles are not over. Ireland and all<br />
of Britain are being overrun by mortal men, who have no patience<br />
for bigger fellows like Finn. When Knockmany is attacked by<br />
humans, and Oonagh is kidnapped by their leader, Finn sets out<br />
to rally Britain’s remaining giants and bring her back.<br />
Steeped in legend, Finn the Half-Great is completely thrilling as<br />
it introduces an unforgettable character and adventures both<br />
ancient and new.<br />
