The iron giant

The Iron Giant, written by Ted Hughes, is a contemporary classic that tells the story of a giant mechanical man who falls to Earth and begins eating metal objects.

The farmers are terrified, but a young boy named Hogarth befriends the giant and helps him find a safe home.

When a space-bat threatens the Earth, Hogarth and the Iron Giant devise a plan to save the world.

First published in 1968, the book is a powerful tribute to peace on Earth and in the universe.
