Helpful Score: 3
Charmingly different book with a plucky young heroine and some very tricky trolls. Amongst the magic, lying crickets, stone feathers and blue fairies is a well-handled message against bullying. An imginative world that any kid would enjoy visiting.

HORNS & WRINKLES is destined to become a classic.
With pixies, rock trolls, river trolls, and magic along the Mississippi River, how could it not?
The story begins with Claire's cousin, Duke, dangling her above the river. This comes back to haunt Duke later, because he begins to turn into a rhino. He falls in league with a few river trolls. Claire uncovers a master plan that may cause Duke harm, but when she tries to tell him he won't listen.
This is a great story about racing against time and learning something about yourself. With twists and turns that aren't expected, it is fun, quick, and easy to read.
It's enjoyable for all ages.
