Parent Guide > The Troll Maker
Welcome to the parent guide for this text! Read below to find out about what your child is reading in class and how you can support him/her at home.
This week in class, we’re reading "The Troll Maker" by Gail Skroback Hennessey.
In "The Troll Maker," Thomas Dambo creates giant trolls out of recycled "trash."
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Human vs. Nature and Social Change & Revolution as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
