This is a fun chapter book that would be easy to read to young children or to give to younger fairly confident readers due to the subject. It would work well in a Key Stage 2 class as a guiding reading text. The story has many familiar fairytale elements with the Troll emerging from under a bridge and being aware of how scary he looks to humans.
Rosie, a young girl visiting her grandma in her cottage in the woods happens upon the troll and from there they embark on an ancient quest together with many adventures along the way. The familiarity of the pattern of the story with some appropriately rich description makes this a story that could be returned to and enjoyed again.
