Description:

Once Upon a Legend is a riotously fun, big-hearted adventure from bestselling author and comedian Ben Miller — described as "The Sword in the Stone meets The BFG." Marcus has just been enrolled at Merlin's, a wonderfully unusual school, after his bad behaviour pushed his teachers to their limits. He is determined to get expelled and go home — but a midnight prank goes spectacularly wrong when he accidentally wakes Crom, a giant who has been sleeping beneath the school grounds for thousands of years. Worse, a whole army of much angrier giants is now marching on London, furious about what humans have done to the natural world. With the country in peril, Marcus must find unexpected courage and forge surprising alliances to save everything. Funny, warm, and rooted in British legend. Illustrated throughout by Elisa Paganelli. Recommended for readers aged 7–10.
