Four months ago, Carl ? Ashlyn's giant bodyguard ? parted ways with her when he destroyed Ash Meadow Valley.
Ashlyn is struggling with the school bullies, dismissive teachers, her bodyguard-hating Uncle Mitchell, and her own health ? which concerns her best friend, Alan.
But when Carl finally returns, bringing more clues to the secrets of his creation, has he changed, or will his anger get the better of him again? With potential enemies all around them ? including the Prime Minister of the country and the army Chief, who is prepared to take drastic measures against both the giant and the girl he guards ? the stakes are higher than ever.
How will the people of Ash Meadow Valley react to Carl's return? And can Ashlyn convince the people in charge that Carl is not a danger, while he still protects her?
