I'm a great-grandpa and this book is a winner for the reader and the author for her first book. Can't wait to also read "Jack" and "Red". Very nice redo on the classic ferry tale with many nice twists and humor. I will never look at a gnome the same way again. And the kind of friendships established in the story are both timeless and contemporary.

This is the most surprisingly awesome book. I didn't expect much going in but I was seriously blown away. It did such a wonderful job of expanding the classic story. Do yourself a favor and reread/rewatch a version of the classic Rumpelstiltskin before you start Rump. You won't regret it.

What if your name is your destiny? What if your name is Rump? Our hero is bullied for his unfortunate name, but finds comfort in his friend Red (who you might know!) and his grandmother. When he discovers a magical talent, he begins a quest to discover his true destiny (and the rest of his name). Fans of the Land of Stories and The Sisters Grimm series will love this smart, well-written tale that takes place in a land faraway with your favorite folk and fairy-tale characters.

I just got done reading it today it was so interesting I really liked it , and what he went though,his mom ,grandmother ,father ,the pixies trolls the wheel his aunts opal the boys the miller the king ,red

Interesting retelling of a classic fairy tale from Rumpelstitlskin's point of view. worth reading.

We loved this book! I picked it up as a read-aloud for the munchkins and started to peruse the first chapter. I looked up about 2 hours later and had finished the entire book in one sitting. The characters were endearing and offered an interesting twist to the classic fairytale, there was a lot of humour and good messages to internalize. The kids (6 & 11) liked it just as much as I did.
