Description
Now available in paperback returns the bestselling story about choosing kindness and finding beauty in the world.
Below the ridge, beneath the log,Underneath the burping bog,
Where townsfolk whispered, cringed, and crept,
a terrifying monster slept... Once, there was a scary troll with a scary voice and the scariest love for trolling the forest creatures that dared to come anywhere near him. Each day, he shouted nasty warnings to passersby, telling them to hurry along. But he never faced his victims, choosing instead to shout obscenities from inside his cave. Then, one day, Troll finally comes face to face with one of his victims: a sweet little rabbit, who can't hear and, therefore, can't understand Troll's bullying words. Suddenly, trolling isn't as fun for Troll when the recipient is real, and defenseless. Join Troll as he learns the power in what we say out loud and relish in his transformation from thug to friend as he embraces a new voice for love.

Frances Stickley grew up in Nottingham and Norwich, where she spent much of her time making up poems and dressing up her dog. She is a trained children's literacy specialist and a primary school teacher who is happiest when she is covered in paint or stuck in a book.

When she is not writing, you'll probably find her in a forest playing dragons with her daughters.
