This is the fun imaginative story about how a young girl named Treva has trouble with trolls. She tricks them in to taking her belongings in exchange for her dogs and then tricks them into giving her everything back. This story would need to be read to grades 2 to 5 for them to understand the games played throughout. The wording is easy enough for second or third grade and has a paragraph per page on most pages.
