Smart, rebellious, and unafraid to speak her mind, Barbara Thorson lives in two worlds. There is the turbulent reality of school and home, where she deals with bullying and parents who are out of the picture. And then there is the rich imaginary life she’s created, in which she is a fearless hunter of monstrous giants. But as Barbara’s fantasies turn increasingly dark, it becomes clear: the real demons are the ones she battles within herself.

I Kill Giants is based on the acclaimed comic-book series by Joe Kelly and Ken Niimura.
