Rating: Summary: The Trolls Review: My third graders loved this book and were very sad each day at the end of story time! Polly Horvath draws the reader (and listeners) in through Aunt Sally's tales and makes it very difficult to put the book down. The Trolls is full of exciting, humorous, and sometimes suspenseful stories. Hidden underneath Aunt Sally's stories is a wonderful message about the importance of family. I enjoyed reading this book and look forward to reading it to my new group of third graders next year!
Rating: Summary: A good book to pass the time Review: not particularly beautifully written, but funny and witty. Polly Horvath has written a good book to read if you want a book where every story ends up happy and warm and fuzzy. All in all, though, I would recommend this book to anybody who likes a fun, happy read.

Rating: Summary: The Trolls Review: The Trolls Middleburgh, NY student The novel that I just completed was The Trolls by Polly Harvath. Its copyright date is 1999. This book is fantasy and it has 136 pages. This book takes place in Tenderly, Ohio. More specifically, it takes place in the Anderson house. (In the house the rooms that the characters are in, are the dining room and upstairs in the children's rooms.) When the characters are upstairs, Aunt Sally is normally in between the children's beds on a rocking chair telling them a story. The children are normally in their beds. In this book, the parents want to take a vacation to Paris. They call Aunt Sally to come and watch the children. So when she comes she is carrying a book. The book has pictures in it. Every night Aunt Sally tells the children a story and shows them a picture to go along with the story. I think this book was odd but I liked it. When I said it was odd I mean odd because of what happens in the book. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to read fantasy because if you like historical fiction or any other genre you won't like this book. You won't like it because it isn't like any other genre. I would also recommend this book to anyone who is between the ages of eleven and fourteen because it is easy reading. This was a good book. I liked the book because I liked the events that happened in this book. The events were interesting. Since the book and its events were interesting it pulled you into the book.

Rating: Summary: The Trolls Review: This is a delightfully funny book. It's a great book to read aloud. Both my 13 year old and 8 year old listen and don't miss a laugh.Aunt Polly really knows how to get the kids attention; she grabs the reader too. You just have to know how each zany antic turns out.Even green beans sound like fun.
