Description
Longlisted of the Great Graphic Novels for Teens (YALSA) 2011 (+3 additional awards) , Longlisted of the IRA/CBC Children's Choice 2011, Longlisted of the Texas Maverick Graphic Novel List 2011, Longlisted of the Popular Paperbacks for Young Adults (YALSA) 2013 (hide additional awards)
Jack likes to think of himself as a criminal mastermind...with an unfortunate amount of bad luck. A schemer, plotter, planner, trickster, swindler...maybe even thief? One fine day Jack picks a target a little more giant than the usual, and one little bean turns into a great big building-destroying beanstalk.
With help from Rapunzel (and her trusty braids), a pixie from Jack's past, and a man with inventions from the future, they just might out-swindle the evil giants and put his beloved city back in the hands of good people ....while catapulting themselves and readers into another fantastical adventure.

The dialogue is witty, the story is an enticing departure from the original, and the illustrations are magically fun and expressive.
