My Review


Scarlet sets off to discover Beira's famous hammer, where she meets Amhlaidh, the grumpiest troll, who accompanies her on her eventful quest and reveals how to get the hammer. She encountered several mythological animals, monsters, and deities. The folktale guides Scarlet in discovering that you can't take anything that doesn't belong to you by using historical stories.

It's a light fantasy book that introduces me to several Scottish folktales, and the illustrations help me visualize them. It is an enjoyable read that made us smile. Scarlet and Amhlaidh's conversation are hilarious. The details are vivid, and the adventure is fast-paced, mainly admirable for children.

A charming short fantasy read that fills every check of your adventurous ride.
