Cliff the Failed Troll (Warning: There Be Pirates in This Book!) - Barbara Davis-Pyles

This sweet and funny story is about feeling different and embracing who we are.A fun and original story by Barbara Davis-Pyles, author of Grizzly Boy and Stubby the Fearless Squid, about a troll named Cliff who isn''t very good at sitting still or being a "proper" troll. He''d much rather be a pirate anyway!"Ahoy!" he shouts upon meeting other trolls, who then remind him that the proper troll hello is "Go away!" After a report card full of Fs in bridge building, stoney staring, and even goat gobbling (he''s a vegetarian!), Cliff sets off for pirate school.But are things different for him there? Aye, that they arrrre! This humorous story is about appreciating who we are and knowing there is a place where we fit in the world.
