(3) 4-6 Twelve-year-old Rump thinks he's finally found luck when he discovers that he can spin straw into gold. But this magical gift begins to seem more like a curse, and Rump embarks on a quest to find his true name and destiny. Plenty of danger and action along the way--pixie bites, troll abductions, and more--widen the appeal of this droll boy-centered fairy tale.
