When her singing draws up from the depths a huge mysterious beast, everyone in town is terrified except Hattie, who looks into the creature s friendly, curious eyes and knows that this is no monster. So Hattie sneaks out at night to see the giant whom she names Hudson and the two become friends. But how can she make the frightened, hostile townspeople see that Hudson isn t scary or dangerous at all?
