The Trolls is by Polly Horvath. When Mom and Dad leave for Paris and the baby sitter cancels - who ya gonna call? Aunt Sally is Dad's sister, and to say she is a character is putting it mildly. Melissa, Amanda, and Frank (Pee Wee) know nothing about their aunt. Sally wears her hair in a beehive, pretends green beans are walrus tusks, and tells the strangest stories about the family. She tells of leaving her brother on the beach as an offering for trolls and about Maud who shot 80 "cougars". These tales are as hilarious for us as for the Anderson kids. A thoroughly delightful read.
Ratings: 5th grade - 10 out of 10.
