People Magazine, August 12, 2013: "A fresh riff on the Grimm Brothers' Rumpelstiltskin , told with wit from the impish point of view of the troublemaker himself." The Denver Post, May 6, 2013: "A startlingly original book." Starred Review, Kirkus Reviews, March 15, 2013: "As good as gold." School Library Journal, May, 2013: "A beguiling take on a classic tale.... This captivating fantasy has action, emotional depth, and lots of humor." BookPage, April 9, 2013: "Shurtliff takes the traditional fairy tale and turns it on its head, interspersing humor with tenderness, action with insight.  Rump  shows the other side of Rumpelstiltskin, one of the most vilified characters in fairy tales, and reminds readers that in a good story, very little is as it seems."

Synopsis
This funny fractured fairy tale goes behind the scenes of Rumpelstiltskin. New York Times Bestselling author Liesl Shurtliff "spins words into gold Kirby Larson, Newbery Honor winner]." In a magic kingdom where your name is your destiny, 12-year-old Rump is the butt of everyone's joke. But when he finds an old spinning wheel, his luck seems to change. Rump discovers he has a gift for spinning straw into gold. His best friend, Red Riding Hood, warns him that magic is dangerous, and she's right. With each thread he spins, he weaves himself deeper into a curse. To break the spell, Rump must go on a perilous quest, fighting off pixies, trolls, poison apples, and a wickedly foolish queen. The odds are against him, but with courage and friendship--and a cheeky sense of humor--he just might triumph in the end. A Texas Bluebonnet finalist and winner of the ILA award for middle grade fiction, Rump is perfect for fans of Gail Carson Levine's Ella Enchanted or Adam Gidwitz's A Tale Dark and Grimm . And don't miss Liesl Shurtliff's other fairy tale retellings: Jack: The True Story of Jack and the Beanstalk and Red: The True Story of Red Riding Hood .

    Great Book

    Great book to have as a read-aloud or for a middle schooler. It’s funny and has a caring theme. Our grandson’s school is using it as their “One Book One School” book. Everyone in the school is reading a chapter each night and they have trivia questions, games, and prizes for correct answers. Really a great book for families to engage together.
