Muncle Trogg by Janet Foxley
Mar. 14th, 2011 10:12 pmThe Blurb On The Back:
Giants live on top of Mount Grumble, hidden from humans below.
But not all of them are big. Muncle Trogg is so small that he’s laughed at by the others for being human-sized. Fed up, he decides to take a look at the ‘Smallings’ that he’s meant to look like.
But what he discovers is very surprising indeed.
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
A funny, charming and sensitive story, this book about a tiny giant will appeal to children aged 7+ and to the young at heart. I was alternately sniggering and feeling sorry for poor Muncle and really rooting for him to come good. The set-up for a sequel will definitely see me reading on.
