A Troll in Passing, by Stephen Krensky

A short, sweet children's book about Morgan, a young misfit troll who can't decide on an occupation, and his troll community that has strained relations with the nearby human community - a situation not helped by the recognized troll occupation of "foraging" (stealing from humans).

It's a bit predictable and it lacks the intricate farce plotting of some of Krensky's books for slightly older kids, but it's fun and has a number of pleasing touches, like troll gender equality (Morgan's mom is a forager) and fairytales seen from the point of view of the trolls. (Princesses: the best at untangling the knots in troll hair.)
