Advantages: A great book with a good story line. Disadvantages: Nothing really
The story is about when Twig, a wood troll (he thinks he is but he isn’t), doesn’t fit in and gets sent away to his cousins house, he does what no wood troll has ever done before, he strays from the path. He goes on a long journey meeting lots of different fictional creatures and even The Gloamglozer himself (the most feared creature of all).

Advantages: The text is accompanied by illustrations throughout the novel. Disadvantages: Some of the characters may seem a little scary to really young readers.

The first impression I got of this novel is set by the detailed map of the fictional world, The Edge. This shows a perculiar landscape one end of which is shrouded in cloud which really made me want to read the book to discover the secrets behind ...

Advantages: Fun plotlines, with a deeper edge. Disadvantages: Not for teenage readers, slightly childish style
...18 years older, and so beyond the age of "child" kept me gripped and after I had finished I went out immedietely to buy the next books in the Twig saga. The story was fun and exciting, with brilliant illustrations to add to the reading experience. That is what reading this book was like. It opens up a whole new world of fantasy for the reader, and whilst the book is rich with description and information, it leaves just enough tantalising space for ...
