Horns & Wrinkles Audiobook (Unabridged)

" WANT TO COUNT AS TWO BOOKS. This book is about a girl named Claire, who always gets bullied by her cousin Duke. One day when he threatens to drop her in a river things go badly and hes grows a horn where his nose was!So Claire and Duke set off with three trolls to fix what has been done. I did not like this book at all, Duke treats his cousin awfully even after all she's done!! I do not recommend this to anybody, they would do better reading a picture book!!!!! "

" Very cool cover-- book wasn't that engaging. I found it a bit hard to follow-- maybe because I didn't think either the characters or the plot were that well developed. "

" An excellent Mississippi River fairy tale, packed with trolls, talking crickets and blue wing fairies. I was a little confused when it came to troll curses. Who curse who first and why and what happened to them, but it all works out eventually and the bullies learn their lesson. "

" In which we learn that shooting stars smell "a little like a grilled cheese sandwich that's been burned . . . only sweeter." Quirky "rivery" fun with river trolls, rock trolls, rhinos, a blue-wing fairy, and some very funny lying crickets. I really wanted to like this book, but for some reason it just never caught me up and pulled me in. It had some fun moments, but overall it was just okay. Although the lying crickets did make me laugh several times! "

" i loved that the book portrayed the theme of kindness. "

" This is the best book ever. I read it when I was a little kid, and fell in absolute love!! "

" I picked this book up because it was recommended by a student. I never really got into though, and I basically forced myself to read it. It just wasn't my thing. "

" awesum book desi! "

" Cute book. Kind of whimsical fantasy. I would expect maybe 3rd grade & up would like it. "

" Great character descriptions. Funny! Especially good for native speakers. Grade 6-8 "

" Sweet, simple, with a dash of Midwest river magic. "

" This book started well, but it got a little lost in the middle. It's a good idea, but the story didn't flow well. "

" this book is about a girl named claire(not kidding) and in the biginning of the the book she is being dangled off of a bridge by her cousin duke. the only thing is when she is dropped she floats! i think somthing rivery is going on. "

" I wanted to like this more than I did. It needed a stronger sense of self...a stronger sense of place. The main character as lacked some umph. She was always too on top of things in a passive way. I know, it sounds silly but read it and see. "

" A cute and different story. Rock Trolls, River Trolls, Blue Wing Faries, rhino's, shooting stars, crickets, stone people, and a family mixed up in the whole mess. Somehow it all works out into a fun read with many twists and turns. "

" Soooo wierd but sooo good!!!!!!!! "

" This was a fun quick read "

" A beautiful fantasy book! I loved it, a little short, but it was beautiful! "

" A good read. Quirky characters, loved the setting. A fun fantasy with lots of humor. "

" I made it to the end, but it wasn't easy. A fantasy tale involving rock trolls, crickets, rhino horns and a character named Bodacious Deepthink. Not for me. "

" So, far this book is interesting. It's kind of wacky in a way, but in a good one.Rino horns, river trolls, rock trolls and wacky rivers take you on an adventure of a girl and her family. "

" This book was a little too random and quirky. I just couldn't buy into the story. "

" This is a cute twisty little children's book that is quite interesting and entertaining. I really enjoyed how creative it was. While not finding huge parallels to modern dilemmas or deep truths, it was just refreshing. You won't learn much about yourself so to speak but will enjoy the afternoon. "

" I thought it was well written but It missed that edged that is usually in books. "

" I think its my FAVE book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "

" A fun romp featuring a spunky cross between Scout Fitch and Ramona Quimby as heroine who shares top billing as main character with a spookilly constructed Southern rivershed. The cover is one of the best I have seen for a while. "

" I loved this book. It was well written and full of suprises. The characters were very realistic and you can easily envision the places described. Once I started reading I couldn't stop! I finished it very quickly. I am definatly going to read it again. "

" This book was a little too random and quirky. I just couldn't buy into the story. "

" It was a pretty good book, but with too many unnessecary words. A girl nmaed Claire goes on a mission with trolls to save her cousin who got turned into a rhino. "

" Great character descriptions. Funny! Especially good for native speakers. Grade 6-8 "

" A really rather unusual children's (?) book - not at all preteen trendy (no vampires), but highly imaginative and felt really 'local' if that makes sense for a book that is set mostly in a magical realm. Lots of fun detail - loved the river trolls wearing bicyle gear... "

" I didn't finish the book. I got bored with the story. "

" A fine fairy tale of family, friendship, and courage. Can a bully be transformed by a single act of genuine kindness? Lots of amazing things happen, but then they usually do when something rivery is going on... "

" Nuttiness on the Mississippi River! A "cute" book with southern tale flair. "

" A cute and different story. Rock Trolls, River Trolls, Blue Wing Faries, rhino's, shooting stars, crickets, stone people, and a family mixed up in the whole mess. Somehow it all works out into a fun read with many twists and turns. "

" Interesting spin on the bully theme. I like the 'magical' nature of it! Fun read! "

" So, far this book is interesting. It's kind of wacky in a way, but in a good one.Rino horns, river trolls, rock trolls and wacky rivers take you on an adventure of a girl and her family. "
