Fun role reversal submitted by FordAlpha on August 31, 2019, 10:48pm Rather than focusing on Oliver, a child who's being stalked by a troll, this book puts the reader in the place of Troll as he repeatedly tries and fails to capture the little boy. It's an original and entertaining role reversal, and the story has not one, not two, but three surprising plot twists. The illustrations are lively and charming. It was good for several read-alouds before returning it to the library.
