This is one of those series that my kids and I read outloud together. They were a lot of fun to read together! It's funny how reading outloud together just does something for ya! I've throughly enjoyed the books, series that we have read this way.

How can I have forgotten that I read this last October? Well, I did so I read it again and it still rates three stars for me. Children may find it interesting, however. There is an evil sorceror named Stygius Rex who insists that the new troll king give hime the lands of Bonespittle. Rollo, the hero troll, needs to find an ancient troll treasure after which he will release Rollo's father who he has imprisoned. In addition, Rollo must make peace with the elves. So the adventure begins...

I chose the book “The Troll Treasure” because I saw the cover and it seemed kind of funny so I checked out the book. I didn’t really like the book because it was not my favorite type of story. It is about an evil wizard named Stygius Rex comes back and says that the new troll king is giving the land called Bonespittle to him. In fact, the evil wizard makes Rollo's father and his former bridge mentor his prisoners. I didn’t really find a quote the stood out to me. Although, I would recommend this book to readers who like adventure. I cannot really connect this book to myself because it was not a true story and it was a fantasy story.

A fun fantasy series with a sense of humor, especially good for kids grades 3-5. Book three. Full of adventure and lots of great characters that make kids laugh: trolls and ogres decomposing villains! What more could you ask for?

I was really disappointed that the dragons played such a minor roll. They were just portrayed as an obstacle rather than characters. I wanted the momma dragon to speak and have a story too, but oh well. Otherwise it was a cute ending to the trilogy.

unfortunately, this book was way worse than the first two. it was still interesting, just the plot went ALL over the place. I thought it was kinda lacking.

The infodumping is worse than ever in this book, but the plot threads are all pulled out and tied together neatly by the end. No new threads are introduced, and this book merely focuses on providing a satisfying conclusion to the trilogy. Happy endings abound, with a few twists along the way. Overall, the series was a fast, fun read, and as long as you don't expect excellence it's a fun diversion.
