Plucky Gina Kaminski is back, this time on a class trip to a museum that’s dauntingly bewildering to her non-neurotypical brain all at once. To her rescue comes an aide, Anya, who finds Gina a quiet corner and a copy of Jack and the Beanstalk to calm her mind. Gina seizes on this opportunity to position herself front and center in a revised version of the tale that is far more satisfyingly ethical and Giant-friendly, funny and relatable, than its original version. Terrific for a satisfying read-aloud at home or school, with open-ended conversation starters aplenty.
