Book Description
Siberia, present day: Professor Martin Saxon, a prominent scientist, and his team from the Sydney Science and Research Centre arrive at a decaying Russian nuclear power plant to investigate reports of a strange chemical liquid that's been found in a run-down generator. What they soon discover is that this glowing yellow liquid is actually a growth serum! Imagine the possibilities for increased crop production!Meanwhile, back home in Australia....Eric Claremont, twelve-year-old son of one of Saxon's research scientists, has been the target of vicious bullying from a gang of young thugs from the local high school. Convincing his father to allow him to be the first human guinea pig to try the serum, he eats a whole bowl of Gamma Growth Cereal.Now it's payback time for Gargantuan Boy. That is until he meets-the Unstoppable! Glenn Colin Linke grew up in a small town in the Barossa Valley wine region of South Australia and has worked at the Yalumba Winery for the past eighteen years. He has been writing for more than a decade, and he says of The Gargantuan Boy that it has been an ongoing project for many years. "I drew on life experience, because I know firsthand the agony of being different and how others can treat you." His early passion for dinosaurs and reading comics, he says, served as a refuge from the "real world" and gave him the inspiration for The Gargantuan Boy.
