Nick Stella lives in Sydney, where he works as a public servant. A Giant’s Trek, which started out as a bedtime story for his children, is his first novel.
‘An exciting story full of descriptive language and amazing
challenges with the reader left wondering what could possibly
happen next.’
*ReadPlus*
‘The myriad of strange creatures will engage many readers…We learn
that it takes courage to listen to your own voice among the throng
of expectations of the village…and also discover that the pen, and
in this case the elements, can be mightier than the sword.’
*StoryLinks*
‘A great adventure. Full of fast-paced action, lots of challenges,
and with countless lessons and life skills to be learnt before the
epic ending.’
*Kids’ Book Review*
‘While this is an adventure first and foremost, one for those who
like action on every page, it has a satisfying depth as Ash’s
outward trek is mirrored by his inward journey of
self-discovery.’
*Magpies*
‘It’s okay to be born different, and some people don’t feel
comfortable in their own skin, so to have a slightly different main
character is amazing. A Giant’s Trek is an awesome book. I give it
5/5.’
*Soodjai, 11, Youkie Magazine*
‘There are themes of family expectation and sibling rivalry, but
the reader is gently shown that how a child perceives their parent
is not always the truth. The descriptive writing means the
landscape and obstacles are evoked vividly, so the reader is
immersed in the quest.’
*CBCA VIC*
‘A wonderful story of fighting against great odds while remaining
true to yourself and your gifts.’
*Good Reading*
