A cute storybook about overcoming fear and learning it's okay to be different. Bo the troll is bored in the cave, but he's too scared of the dark to go outside and play with his friends. It feels like this will never change, however, when his friends are in danger, Bo is just the right troll to go to the rescue.
An outsider, fear of the ordinary -- this story displays several classic fairytale tropes mixed with other details that make it troll-tally unique (sorry, I had to!). Bo is a "monster" afraid of the dark, and all of the trolls warn of legends about the scary humans out in the village (who might actually be quite nice?).
The illustrations are definitely a highlight. Full-color spreads fill each page with dramatic scenes, with the text tucked at the bottom. Given the dark color palette, it may be hard to read in low light, but we all should be reading in good light anyway.
A heartwarming read that shows how with a little kindness and courage, every troll will be happy in the end.
