Maewyn Bridgepost, the tiniest Hapenny, spends her days scrubbing the hearth, slopping the pigs, and cooking for her guardian, Gelbane, who never spares a kind word. As if life as a servant isn't bad enough, Mae learns that Gelbane is a troll and Hapennies are a troll delicacy. Years ago, a spell trapped Gelbane in Mae's village. Ever since, Gelbane has been chiseling away the magick that protects the village and now Mae's home is destined to become a smorgasboard for half-starved trolls. When her best friend, Leif, goes missing, it will take all of Mae's courage to save her friend and protect her village.
When pitchforks, sewing needles, pots, brooms, and a little magick are the only weapons at hand, the hapennies discover that great victories can be accomplished no matter what size you are, but only if you stick together.
