Publisher's Summary
This funny fractured fairytale goes behind the scenes of Rumpelstiltskin. "A most magical feat," writes Newbery Honor-winner Kirby Larson, "Liesl Shurtliff spins words into gold."
In a magical 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.
Perfect for fans of Ella Enchanted or A Tale Dark and Grimm.
What the critics say
"Lighthearted and inventive, Rump amusingly expands a classic tale." (Brandon Mull, number one New York Times best-selling author of Fablehaven)

As good as mommy
I usually read out loud to my kids, with different voices, but they loved this so much they said it was "as good as mommy". The narrator was so good, lots of fun voices that matched the characters. The story is even better. We own all of Leisl's books and love them! Love this message about names, and the worth of each person. 💗
