Summary

A topsy-turvy fairy tale about a small giant on a big adventure! Let's get ready to grumble! Mount Grumble is where the giants live. But (contrary to what you might think, maybe because of their name) not every "giant" (see?) is, um...big. In fact, Muncle Trogg is so SMALL that all the other giants make fun of him for being (uh-oh) people-sized. And toss him around like a football! Fed up, Muncle Trogg climbs down Mount Grumble to take a look at the Smallings (that would be humans) he supposedly looks like. What he discovers is... ...a sulky green dragon and a terribly sensible girl? But when Mount Grumble is put in harm's way, it's up to little Muncle to be the bigger smallest giant, prove that size doesn't matter, and somehow save his home! "Sparkling. A cracking tale." -- The Times of London

Excerpts

From Muncle Trogg

"Oh, you've found my pet dragon," Princess Puglug said with a yawn. "He's boring. Ugly Thing's going to be much more fun! She hasn't eaten her tea, though, naughty girl."

She dumped Emily on a doll's chair.

Emily rubbed her shoulder. "Nasty brute!" she said tearfully. Her frightened blue eyes looked too big for her pale little face.

"What did she say?" Puglug demanded.

"Er...tasty fruit!" said Muncle. "I think she wants fruit."

Puglug took a chunk of birthday cake out of her pocket and licked the fluff off it. Then she put it on the table. "We haven't got any fruit," she said, "so stop being fussy."

"Just do what she wants," Muncle whispered to the frightened girl. "Eat your cake."

"Cake?" Emily gasped. "It tastes as if it's made from worms and slugs and toadstools."

Muncle was surprised. "Isn't that the kind of cake you like?"
