About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their child feels small, overlooked, or unheard, and needs encouragement to speak up for what is right. It tells the story of Elliot, a human boy raised by giant, hairy trolls, who often feels useless because of his size. But when a greedy developer threatens to destroy their mountain home to build a theme park, Elliot realizes his unique human skills are the only thing that can save his family. This funny and heartwarming adventure is perfect for early chapter book readers, exploring themes of courage, self-acceptance, and environmentalism. It gently shows that even the quietest voice can make a world of difference.
