Rump

Author: Liesl Shurtliff

Genre: Adventure, Fantasy, Mystery

What it's about:     Rump. From the start he stood out in all directions. Never receiving his full name, he is the joke of the village. Then all of a sudden, he finds a hidden talent! He can spin straw into gold!! This will solve all of his problems...won't it? But Rump must remember that his name is not destiny, but his destiny will complete his name. And that with every gift there comes consequences. Soon Rump wonders is it really a gift...or a curse?

What do you think?   I really enjoyed this book. It was well paced and well written. I also enjoyed the hints of mystery in the book, and the interesting perspective it gave to the classic fairy tale.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Who would like this book? I think people who enjoy books that tell stories from a different perspective will enjoy this book. And I think little kids would like this book too, since they will recognize the characters in this story.
