THE RUNAWAY TROLL written by Matt Haig

This book is about a 12 year old boy named Samuel Blink. When his parents are crushed to death by a falling log he and his sister are sent to Norway to live with their aunt and uncle. But in the forest beside their new home there is a village inhabited by smelly, dirty, stupid and revolting trolls. Everything is fine until one of the trolls runs out of the forest into their house. In the end Samuel decides to take the troll back into the forest but finds himself finds himself kidnaped by a clean, smart but terrible troll called the Betterer ( how very strange). In the end Samuel manages to escape, the runaway troll is returned back to it's home and the Betterer is strangled to death.

I think this book is enjoyable, funny but weird.
