Jack and The Hollow Hill

I recently illustrated a middle grade fiction book called, Jack and The Hollow Hill, written by Bryan Givens. Bryan is a fellow SCBWI SoCal member and a wonderful writer.

The story takes place in medieval Ireland and follows the adventures of a boy named Jack and his friend Ashling. The magical journeys they go on are so much fun to read! The second book in the series, which I also illustrated, called 'Jack and The Giant's Bargain' is out now. I've started working on Book 3, 'Jack and The Jarl's Plea which is due to come out in September 2023.

    More About The Story...

    Jack dreams of becoming a great warrior like his father, even though he’s not sure he’ll ever be big enough.  But when his father doesn’t return from fighting the Viking invaders, Jack knows he has to step up to protect his family.  After he has to move to a different village, he meets new friends, makes new enemies, and discovers strange new places.  And when an unseen menace threatens his loved ones, Jack must rely on his wits and courage to unravel the secret of the Hollow Hill.
