![]() ![]() Unlike previous middle grade fairy tale retellings I have read, this book is not ‘‘cutesy’’. ![]() The odds are against him, but with courage and friendship-and a cheeky sense of humor-he just might triumph in the end. To break the spell, Rump must go on a perilous quest, fighting off pixies, trolls, poison apples, and a wickedly foolish queen. With each thread he spins, he weaves himself deeper into a curse. His best friend, Red Riding Hood, warns him that magic is dangerous, and she’s right. Rump discovers he has a gift for spinning straw into gold. In a magic kingdom where your name is your destiny, 12-year-old Rump is the butt of everyone’s joke. But when he finds an old spinning wheel, his luck seems to change.
