Kevin the Troll

This book is about a man his wife and his two children who used to own a mill. They were very poor so they had to shut it down. One day Arkin went out to find some mushrooms in the wood. Then he saw a huge mushroom. He was about to cut it down but then he saw a little blue thing sitting on it.

Then the little thing said, "hello my name is Kevin. I shall let you have two wishes."

So first of all he wished that the ugly troll was wearing some clothes so then all of a sudden the little troll was wearing some very nice clothes and his second wish was that he had lots of money. So then he realised that his pockets were jam packed with money and he had 12 sacks of money right in front of him but then the troll said "In return you shall let me have what is behind your mill. So off Arkin went wondering why the ugly little troll would want whatever was behind the mill. When he got home Arkin told his family what had happened but then his wife was worried because the children had been playing in that tree all day. So that night when the children had gone to bed they were trying to think of a plan. Then all of a sudden they thought of a plan they went down the street asking people if they could by there children but no one wanted to sell there children so finally they reached the children's Uncles house but he didn't want to sell his child after all but he offered them some lollies because he was a candy maker. But after a while they couldn't think of another plan so they adults just had to dress up in there children's clothes and they would be taken away to be made into adult pie for Kevin's birthday party. So that morning they saw the little ugly troll coming down the street the troll thought to himself as he went up to the children and said "aren't you two a little big to be children"Well sir said Arkin we are very tall aren't that's all."So the troll got them to get in a sack and he would take them back to his cave where all the other trolls were wanting children pie and snail cake. When the children woke up they found a note on the bench saying that there parents had been taken by a troll and that they had to go to there Uncle's and he would look after them so the children packed there things and headed off down the road to there Uncle's. At that point Arkin and his wife saw a little hole in the bottom of the sack and they had a plan that they would leave lollies that the Captain had given to them on the footpath and that she thought that the children would be smart enough to be able to follow the track to the trolls cave. When they got to there Uncle's they told him what had happen and what they should do to get there parents back. So there Uncle took them down the road to see if they were anywhere near but they couldn't see a sign they walked down to the other end of the street where their house was and there Uncle saw a trail of candy leading somewhere so they deiced to follow it. When they got to a hill the trail had stopped and they heard noise from down below them in a cave they knew this was the right place they were thinking of a plan to try rescue their parents their Uncle thought of a great idea but it meant that they had to stripe of and luckily they had two marzipan noses and four marzipan ears so they stuck them and went inside but the boy had his undies still on and the girl still wore her undies and singlet when they got in the lady trolls straight away pulled her into their little hobby in the corner of the big cave and the boy strolled over towards the men troll and Kevin. The way the men greeted each other was by touching tongues together and the laddies greeted each other by banging their bums together. The laddies were more nicer than the boys but they kept on asking very odd questions but the girl didn't mind she just tried to talk back like she would if she was a real troll then the boy trolls started talking about the ladies and the ladies left because they hated it when they talked like that so the only girl troll left so she found her way through the crowd and found her brother and they went into the kitchen where their Mum and Dad were unconscious on a dessert tray. They had picked the right time to go into the kitchen because the cook had gone to get his mincing machine from his friends house. So the two of them rolled the dessert tray out the door but then there was this awful smell and the girl sneezed and part of her marzipan nose came off and then they quickly and quietly took the dessert tray outside and then Kevin went up to the little piece of marzipan and he tasted it and knew that they weren't real trolls but then the cave started to rumble and all the trolls came rushing out of their cave and into boats they had made on the rivers edge and sailed away and all that time when the cane was rumbling they found out that it was there Uncle was dropping fizz bombs into the caves chimney. So there Uncle took them home and when they got home their parents woke up and they had a very good rest of there life. This book is very good for people who like adventures and magical creatures.
