"Lighthearted and inventive, Rump amusingly expands a classic tale." -Brandon Mull, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Fablehaven. The odds are against him, but with courage and friendship-and a cheeky sense of humor-he just might triumph in the end.Ī Texas Bluebonnet Master List Selection, Rump is perfect for fans of Gail Carson Levine's Ella Enchanted or Adam Gidwitz's A Tale Dark and Grimm. 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. But when he finds an old spinning wheel, his luck seems to change.
