Helping Children Fight Fear Since May 2014!

Excerpt

Molly pedaled faster than she had ever pedaled before. Sweat beaded up on her forehead. The giant was after her again. He lumbered behind her, cracked lips snarling around a broken set of yellow teeth, filthy tattered rags for clothes.

His club, an uprooted oak tree, hung menacingly over his shoulder. Fear grabbed hold of Molly and sent her pedaling with a new boost of energy. The giant was slow, but his strides were very long and he was catching up fast. Molly ditched her bike, ran behind a tree and held her breath. Her hands were shaking as she clasped them together. She could feel the giant looking for her, shaking the earth with every powerful movement.
He picked up a large rock nearby, looked beneath it and then threw it back down. Molly started to climb the tree she was hiding behind. She was good at climbing trees even though her mom and dad constantly warned her about falling. She put one leg up on a branch and hoisted herself up, keeping an eye on the giant, who had begun pulling apart some bushes behind her.

Molly reached for another branch and pulled herself up higher. She angled her foot onto yet a higher, thinner branch, but the branch made a loud snapping noise when she put weight on it. She stopped. She held her breath and slowly turned to look at the giant. The giant had stopped looking in the bush. Molly’s heart sank as she realized his eyes were locked onto her.

“You be lunch!” he boomed . .
