Sheldon Thorpe is a lonely, cynical boy. To lift his spirits, his mother sends him to Camp Arrowhead, in the mountains of North Carolina, where a mythical giant named Ten Foot supposedly roams the forests. One night a strange boy enters Sheldon’s cabin and takes his pocketknife, his most prized possession. Sheldon chases him into a mysterious fog at the edge of camp and enters the war-torn world of Arrowhead, where the demon-bear Karr-Tan and his minions conspire to enslave all of the tribes. With the help of an escaped slave girl, a platoon of combat-hardened holy men, and a shiny magic staff, Sheldon embarks on an epic quest to find the orphan boy prophesied to become the giant warrior, Ten Foot. Only Ten Foot can defeat Karr-Tan, bringing peace to the land. And he alone can show Sheldon the way home. Says Joyce Carol Thomas, National Book Award winning author of Marked by Fire, "Ten Foot is a spellbinding fantasy novel, rivaling the works of C.S. Lewis and Tolkien. Read this book."...More >< Less
