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.

Piece Regarding Books Rump: The True Story of Rumpelstiltskin ((Fairly) True Tales Series)
Rump: The True Story of Rumpelstiltskin is pure fun. Liesl Shurtliff has created a fascinating world with gnomes who run messages and pixies who are attracted to gold (much like the king of the land). I love that Rumps only friend is Red, whose name is considered as odd as his and that people are the only things named. Rump was a romp and I enjoyed every minute.I love a good re-telling of a tale you think you know -- and this book does not disappoint! It cleverly delivers all the bits and pieces

"Mom let me name you after my Barbie doll," my older sister declared when we were little kids. Dippy me believed her well into adulthood before learning that I was named after a friend of my mom's. There is power in names and thinking I had been named after something as frivolous as a doll bothered me growing up. I remember thinking mom and dad had too many kids if they were letting siblings name them after toys. I imagined naming my brothers, "Hasbro" or "Matchbox" or "G.I. Joe." At least I

Rumpelstiltskin has never been my favorite fairy tale, and yet two books during this year's Fairy Tale Fortnight have made me rethink the tale. The first was YA title RUMPLESTILTSKIN by Jenni James, which I reviewed the other day. Now, with the middle-grade offering of RUMP: The True Story of Rumpelstiltskin, I once again find myself caring about the odd character from the original tale. Unlike in the version from Jenni James, where Rumplestiltskin is the cursed brother of a greedy king and in

We grew up knowing that Rumpelstiltskin as a greedy monster but in this novel, readers could see a different perspective on who really he is. In the classic tale, Rump was the antagonist, therefore, it's a 180° turn in this book because the king, queen, and Oswald were all portrayed as despicable or mean. I really enjoyed reading this from beginning till the end because of how good the life story of Rump was written. I didn't expect that this was a page-turner; at first, I thought that there's

Awesome. The author has a wonderful writing style, each chapter smoothly flowing into the next. Not only is this a refreshing take on an old fairy tale, but the story delivers a new voice that shies away from the content that has become so popular in middle grade and YA novels. I highly recommend this book!

An inadequate attempt to tell the backstory of Rumplestiltskin. Shurtliff seems to want to reveal the power of names and naming and to explore the ideas of free will vs. destiny, but the book never gets beyond annoying superficialities. Why does the miller's daughter stick her tongue out and roll it around her mouth all the time? Once we've learned that trolls eat mud and worms, do we need to read about it repeatedly? And how tedious is it to hear about the recalcitrant donkey over and over? The

I did not connect to any of the characters, from the first page til I stopped. It was just not that interesting at all, nothing really grabbed my attention. I only read a few fantasies but this one really was not all that captivating, or maybe cause I was not the author target audience. I just could not get into it at all, however it is really good in the beginning.My attention span is short though, usually if it does not pull me initially then I pretty much give up.
