Review
Tree Trolls and their Secret Gifts is a good book. In the book, Shaye and Emmett went into the woods where they found trolls who were watching over them. Each troll had a special gift, and each taught Shaye and Emmett a very important lesson. I enjoyed this book because I really liked how the author introduced important lessons in a way that I could understand. I also really liked the end of the story where the author had the trolls remind Shaye and Emmett that they are always watching over them and will help keep them safe. I really think believing someone of something is watching over you can help kids when they're dealing with issues or they're afraid.
