On her walk home from school, Franny Squires meets a huge, awkward creature, lost and in need of help. Like any decent person, Franny decides to lend this troll (it turns out they exist!) a helping hand. What Franny doesn’t bargain for is just how little a troll knows about how to behave in the human world... and just how little she knows about how to behave in the world of the trolls!
