Summary: The Trolls- you have to read it
Comment: The Trolls, Polly Horvath, ISBN- 0-374-37787-1
Here's what The Trolls is about Mr. and Mrs. Anderson were going to go to go on a trip, but a week before they were going to leave their babysitter called and said she was sick. So Mr. and Mrs. Anderson need to find a babysitter, for their trip( their going to be gone for a week). So the Anderson's remember that Aunt Sally is in town, so they get her to babysit Amanda, Melissa, and Frank. When the parents leave Aunt Sally tells them stories, one story was about a lady who shot 8 cougars, and many more stories about her childhood. This book is Fiction/fantasy.
I like the book because the stories are really funny, and the kids say a lot of funny things! I do recommend the book because it's stories that are in your wildest dreams and because you can relate to the story. Kids 9-14 would like this book and people who like fantasy. Every chapter ended with a cliff hanger because they would be in the middle of a story then the chapter would end so you would have to read it. The thing that surprised me was that all the stories are true, from Aunt Sally's childhood. Well to find out what happens who have to read the story!

Summary: Not happy
Comment: I bought this book for my grandchildren, but decided to read it first. There are many good things in this book, and it has a good moral to the story, but I am not sure that all will understand the moral, (teaching the two older children to appreciate their younger brother). And the discordance between the children's father and Aunt Sally is sad, and never resolved, even though the parents did ask Aunt Sally to babysit so they could go on vacation.
The worst thing about this book is Chapter 11 "Fat Little Mean Girl". The name really turned me off the whole book. To use the word 'fat' to describe a mean little girl encourages the readers to believe that fat is synonymous with mean. It is difficult enough for an overweight child in this world. To name a character this, and use it as a name through the complete chapter is cruel. I'm going to try and return the book and will let the store know why I am returning it. I was extremely disappointed that an adult would use a name like this in a book, and am extremely disappointed that the book was a finalist for the National Book Award and as a "Boston Globe-Horn Award Honor Book". There are adults out there who weren't paying attention, or who don't think there's anything wrong with prejudice against fat people...and passing that prejudice along to children.

Summary: Trolls You have to read it
Comment: The Trolls, I know it doesn't sound exciting but you won't believe the stories that they tell. Their like stories in your wildest dreams. Let me tell you more, Melissa, Frank, and Amanda are getting babysat by their Aunt Sally. Aunt Sally is a great story teller! The funny thing is the stories she tells really happen to her and her 4 brothers and sisters. Well for you to know what the story is about read it yourself!
