Rump
was Daniel’s Library Youth Book Club book for November. I’ll admit Daniel really was intrigued with
this book as he thought the title was hilarious and would laugh each time he
said rump. Rump is a great fantasy tale
that tells the backstory of Rumpelstiltskin from his point of view. We were both intrigued by the story, but
Daniel started taking the book and reading it without me to see how it
ended. I also enjoyed that the afterward
by the author at the end was discuss names and how kids are picked on for their
names or assumptions are made about them because of their names. She was picked on for her name, Liesl, and
decided to use this to write Rump, a story where names are very
significant. I thought that was
intriguing.
Overall,
Rump is a fun look at the fairy tale Rumpelstiltskin and how one never can
really make assumptions about someone because of their name.
