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: 3 stars
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.

Review: 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: 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.

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.
