In fact, I think it might be my favorite yet." - Young Adult Books Central "With some neat twists and plot turns, this takes ole' 'Rumpelstiltskin' to a new level. Give this to those who enjoyed Ella Enchanted..." - KLIATT "In this “Further
Tale” you will shudder at the sight of a gigantic, hideous monster.
You will bite your nails as Tom contends with robbers, ravenous insects,
a dark tomb, and an army of barbarians, while each discovery he makes
means that he has more and more to lose...the novel’s “big payoff”
will reward you emotionally, while affirming many of the best things
in reality or fiction: courage, love, and the possibility of even
the worst villain being redeemed." The next adventure is here. A banished boy named Tom, cursed to bring bad luck to everyone he meets... A bitter, ill-mannered gnome who may hold the key to Tom's salvation... An unstoppable army of pillaging invaders... A monster so hideous, nobody can stand to look upon it... Like the other Further Tales, The Riddle of the Gnome tells about what happens many years after a classic fairy tale. So if you ever wondered what happened to Rumpelstiltskin...here's your chance to find out. |
