Sleeping Giants by Sylvain Neuvel
A girl named rose is riding her new bike near her home in deadwood, South Dakota, when she falls through the earth. She wakes up at the bottom of a square-shaped hole, its walls glowing with intricate carvings. But the firemen who come to save her peer down upon something even stranger: a little girl in the palm of a giant metal hand.
The overall story unfolds easily.. and quickly draws the reader... but it is a very different experience than a standard third- or first-person narrative * SAN FRANCISCO BOOK REVIEW *
This stellar début novel...masterfully blends together elements of sci-fi, political thriller and apocalyptic fiction. * KIRKUS REVIEWS (STARRED REVIEW) *
