About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is struggling to connect with someone who seems different, grumpy, or hard to approach. It is a wonderful tool for teaching children that initial impressions can be misleading and that kindness is often the key to unlocking a beautiful friendship. The story follows young siblings who discover a real troll living at the bottom of their garden, but instead of a scary monster, they find a lonely creature who just needs to be understood. This gentle chapter book balances humor with heartfelt lessons on empathy and belonging. It is perfectly paced for young readers aged 7 to 9 who are transitioning into longer stories. Parents will appreciate how the book models patience and curiosity, showing that even the most 'difficult' individuals usually have a story worth hearing and a heart worth knowing.
