Who?
It wasn’t a human. It couldn’t be. It was four times as tall as the tallest human. It was so tall its
head was higher than the upstairs windows of the houses. Sophie opened her mouth to scream, but no
sound came out. Her throat, like her whole body, was frozen with fright.
This was the witching hour all right.
The tall black figure was coming her way. It was keeping very close to the houses across the
street, hiding in the shadowy places where there was no moonlight.

Goochey children slept in the upstairs front room, Sophie knew that.
The Giant was peering through the window into the room where Michael and Jane Goochey
were sleeping. From across the street, Sophie watched and held her breath.
She saw the Giant step back a pace and put the suitcase down on the pavement. He bent5 over
