A mysterious island. A one-eyed giant. An impossible escape. When Mirri, Indigo, and Hadrik are captured by Polgorous the Horrendous, they must use all their skills—and a dash of magic—to outsmart one of the most feared creatures in the Thousand Island Archipelago. (Loosely inspired by the ancient Greek tale of Odysseus and the Cyclops.)
