Rump

This book reminds me of the original Rumpelstiltskin but from an entirely different point of view! Every minute reading the book I was on the edge of my seat.

Reading this book really helps understand the original story because I didn’t understand the part in the original that was “I’ve come to take your baby."

I like hearing from Rump’s point of view because he’s just this scrawny kid until he learns that he can spin straw into gold! Again, this is in my top ten.

I also like his friend Red. She’s always looking out for him and helps him a lot in the book. -f
