Book description
"Seven at one blow!" That's what they say about the Brave
Little Tailor -- he killed seven foes with one blow. But no one can
prove it's even true. Besides, that took place a long time ago, and
the Brave Little Tailor is now an old man. So what happens when an
army of angry trolls invades his kingdom?
Meet Patch Ridlin. He's a tailor's simple apprentice in the remote
village of Crossfield. He's a hard worker who's never wanted for much,
except maybe a little adventure. But when he rescues his friend Osbert
from an aging and decrepit troll, Patch finds himself something of a
town hero. Word of his bravery quickly spreads throughout the
countryside, and Patch is summoned to the king's castle. King Milo
needs his help to wage war on a gang of trolls threatening to destroy
the kingdom.
Soon Patch finds himself engaged in an all-out battle against the
trolls. With only the help of a fool named Simon and a maddening
riddle, can Patch figure out the troll's fatal flaw? Or is the kingdom
destined to perish?
P. W. (Paul William) Catanese was born in New York
and grew up in Connecticut, where he lives with his wife and three
children. When he's not writing books, he draws cartoons and works for
an advertising agency.
Interestingly, the letters in "P. W. Catanese" can be
rearranged to spell "want escape?" Paul figures that's why
people read books like his.
