Grump: (Fairly) True Tale of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves
Ever since he was a dwarfling, Borlen (nicknamed “Grump”) has dreamed of visiting The Surface, so when opportunity knocks, he leaves his cavern home behind.
At first, life aboveground is a dream come true. Queen Elfrieda Veronika Ingrid Lenore (E.V.I.L.) is the best friend Grump always wanted, feeding him all the rubies he can eat and allowing him to rule at her side in exchange for magic and information. But as time goes on, Grump starts to suspect that Queen E.V.I.L. may not be as nice as she seems. . .
When the queen commands him to carry out a horrible task against her stepdaughter, Snow White, Grump is in over his head. He’s bound by magic to help the queen, but also to protect Snow White. As if that wasn’t stressful enough, the queen keeps bugging him for updates through her magic mirror! He’ll have to dig deep to find a way out of this pickle, and that’s enough to make any dwarf Grumpy indeed.

This collection of books from New York Times bestseller Liesl Shurtliff take slight twists and modifications on the original tales of several notorious childhood stories. Rump, Jack, Grump, Red, and several others tell the story in a witty and expanded fashion. Also known as Rumpelstiltskin, Jack and the Beanstalk, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Red Riding Hood, Rump, Jack, Grump, and Red are laced with magical, and make-believe events, characters, curses, giants, and the like. Parents should be aware of the content containing these secular traits as well as themes of good and evil. The books are very engaging and humorous. Use these as library builders. ~Judy
