For Thom she has to contend with the consequences of her actions plus the realization of her betrayal. It begins with action and high stakes almost immediately. While it was easy to get swept away with the action in Girl Giant and the Jade War, I loved the themes the most. This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.) (Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher. But with the stakes higher than ever, the price for help may be more than Thom is willing to pay. Now the Monkey King is waging a war against the Heavens and Thom must do everything in her power to fix the mess she made.ĭetermined to prevent a war, Thom and her dragon friend Kha set off on an adventure across the Heavens to search for allies. He tricked her into stealing from the Heavens and releasing him from his 500-year prison. Thom Ngoh thought the Monkey King was her friend―he taught her to control her super strength and to stand up for herself. In this sequel to Girl Giant and the Monkey King, Thom and her friends set off on a far flung adventure to save the Heavens and the Jade Emperor from certain destruction. Keep reading this book review for my full thoughts. And this one is full of themes about trust, betrayal, and friendship. I’ve tried to read more middle grade series this year and while I haven’t exactly succeeded…I am trying! Girl Giant and the Jade War continues the Girl Giant and the Monkey King series.
