Seven Ways to Trick a Troll

TROLLS! They are huge and ugly and very, very dangerous. But luckily for us, their brains are no bigger than a walnut, so even small children can trick them. First, though, you need to know their weaknesses--and that's what these stories are for!

This wonderful children's book is illustrated with imaginative color drawings from Grand Marais, MN local Kari Vick! She shares her inside information about the captivating book here : 

"This book is full of useful information, but also great fun, and it doesn't hurt to be reminded of all the tricks children can do to overcome trolls--or other fearsome beings. Patience, kindness, courage, and quick thinking: what works against trolls are the best things about being human.

'To defeat a troll, you must draw on the very best of your humanity: you must have courage, patience, intelligence, kindness, the ability to work with others, and plenty of moxie.' It also helps to know a troll’s weaknesses…

• They hate loud noise.

• Sunlight & reflected sunlight turn them to stone.

• They are easily distracted.

• They are heavy and clumsy.

• They cannot swim.

• And my personal favorite: they burst if they get too mad!

… and this is where this book comes in! Taken from a wide range of historical and international sources, Seven Ways to Trick a Troll  will delight and entertain imaginations of all ages."
