If We Were Giants


















Kirra's people live a secluded life inside an inactive volcano.  Her father is a storyteller whose stories help to ensure their privacy and Kirra is learning from him.  But when a group called the "Takers" get too close Kirra accidentally leads them right to the volcano leading to the destruction of her village.

Fortunately Kirra is taken in by another community of tree dwellers.  Many of the people live very solitary lives but when the "Takers" start entering their woods Kirra knows she needs to rally the community together to make a stand.  They do so by creating giants out of trees and working together to make them into fighting machines.

The story was pretty good.  There was a good message about working together.  It was more violent than one would think, especially at the end.
