For my PICFIC book i choose Gentle Giant by Michael Morpurgo.  The characters in this book are: Beastman the giant,  Miranda a girl, Mirandas father(not sure of his name).  The book is about a giant who is lonely and one day he sees this girl out on her boat, but she falls in and the giant saves her. the story is really about the giant swans that are in this lake, but then the lake goes all green and gross and they have to get all the villigares the help clean the  lake. At the end every one loves this giant and Miranda and the giant get married.  I wouldn't recommend it because personally I found it boring, but that's just my opinion.  I think the moral of the story was people come in all shapes and sizes and just cause your big doesn't mean you don't have a big heart.

So that's what I got from it,
