Always portrayed in fairy tales as the evil one, Liesl Shurtliff gives us a different Rumpelstiltskin, one who is kind and just a little naive. An orphan who must spin straw into gold just to have food to eat, Rump finds that magic always comes with consequences beyond his control. His best friend, Red, tries to warn him but the evil miller, Oswald, pushes him to spin more straw into gold. Now a whole slew of his friends as well as enemies are in trouble. Is his destiny really in his name or does he have the power to overcome? Many twists and turns with gold hungry pixies and wise trolls. Grades 3-6
