Rump: The (Fairly) True Tale of Rumpelstiltskin

Rump: The (Fairly) True Tale of Rumpelstiltskin

This funny fractured fairy tale goesÂ behind the scenes of Rumpelstiltskin. New York Times Bestselling author Liesl Shurtliff "spins words into gold [Kirby Larson, Newbery Honor winner]."

In a magic kingdom where your name is your destiny, 12-year-old Rump is the butt of everyone's joke.Â 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 sheâ€™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 friendshipâ€”and a cheeky sense of humorâ€”he just might triumph in the end.

A Texas Bluebonnet finalist and winner of the ILA award for middle grade fiction, Rump is perfect for fans of Gail Carson Levine's Ella EnchantedÂ or Adam Gidwitz's A Tale Dark and Grimm. And don't miss Liesl Shurtliff's other fairy tale retellings: Jack: The True Story of Jack and the Beanstalk and Red: The True Story of Red Riding Hood.

"A fresh riff on the Grimm Brothers'Â Rumpelstiltskin, told with wit from the impish point of view of the troublemaker himself." â€”People

"Lighthearted and inventive,Â RumpÂ amusingly expands a classic tale." â€”Brandon Mull, #1Â New York TimesÂ bestselling author ofÂ Fablehaven.
