Summary

The Growing Ax is a quest that begins with one question: Why did Ask's father disappear two years ago? To answer that question, Ask must first pick up the ax in response to its peculiar call, which sounds like his father's voice.

Join Ask in his search to learn the truth and experience a world of bloodthirsty giants, magical apples, whispering fish, and a transmogrifying talking goat. With the help of his best friend, Deonte, and a strange new classmate, Orla, Ask must stand against the giants.
Will their combined strength and the ax's power be enough? Is Ask ready to take his father's place as protector of the growing ax?
