The Times Children's Book of the Week - "Playful and perceptive...This is definitely one troll worth unblocking"

Indie Book of the Month - September 2024

A funny, heartwarming story about internet trolling and learning to love yourself.

Below the bridge,
beneath the log,
underneath the burping bog,
where townsfolk whispered, cringed and crept,
a terrifying monster slept...

In this funny tale, inspired by both internet trolls and The Three Billy Goats Gruff, there is a terrifying troll that lives under a bridge. Unseen, he delights in shouting nasty things to passers-by. But when a d/Deaf bunny unwittingly faces up to him, he realises that it's not so fun to say nasty things to someone's face. Can Troll finally learn to love himself and others?
