Melanie, the blind shepherdess, is worried when her grandfather goes in search of a healer for her and fails to return. She follows him into the Dark Forest and rescues him from an evil troll who has cast a spell over Grandfather and countless other innocent victims.
I read this book to my second grade class, and they absolutely loved it! The story was beautifully written, and kept the children in suspense throughout the whole book. The illustrations were wonderfully drawn and added a unique flavor to the story. We recently had a class vote to pick our favorite book, of all the ones I have read to them this year. This book won by a landslide. I think that kids are some of the best critics of children's literature, and they loved it! What more is there to say?
