Synopsis

If you liked the movies Elf and Shrek, you’ll love THE ENCHANTED FILES—a magical, hilarious comedy series about fantastical creatures in the modern world by the bestselling author of My Teacher Is an Alien: Bruce Coville!
 
Any troll worth their farts knows that a proper troll should:
 
1. Avoid thinking or feeling! (Feelings? Blech!)
2. Love burping and farting! (But who doesn’t?)
3. And, most important, despise humans!
 
But Ned is not just any troll. Even though Ned is nearly seven feet tall, with a nose the size of a pickle, Ned has a heart full of LOVE! A heart that swoons over poetry and craves true friendship!
 
And when it comes to humans . . . it’s complicated. So complicated that long ago, Ned fled the Enchanted Realm for the one place no one would notice a troll hiding in plain sight: NEW YORK CITY. But one human boy—Cody—has noticed. And Cody’s snooping leads to a wild and adventure that takes readers from the tunnels underneath Grand Central all the way to the Enchanted Realm (and back again!).
 
Laugh out loud with all three of Bruce Coville's Enchanted Files—Cursed, Hatched and Trolled—casting a hilarious spell on readers everywhere!
“Bruce Coville is a wizard at telling stories." —Christopher Paolini, New York Times bestselling author of Eragon

"Science fiction master Coville combines classic tropes with ample humor and an inspired narrative for a magic yet realistic modern fairy tale."—School LIbrary Journal

Goodreads review by N.A. on December 16, 2015

This book was a fun read, but it had too many flaws to recommend. Therefore, I will list the flaws first. #1-I rate this as #1, because it is the most important. This is a children's book. The MC's age is 11. This means children 8 (and probably younger) will read this book. And yet: Before the first......more

Goodreads review by D. B. Guin on February 03, 2019

Full disclosure: I expected this to be cringey. I was wrong. Actually, it is VERY cute and good. This book is what The Boggart by Susan Cooper would have been, if it had actually been good instead of dull and weird. Thoroughly enjoyable.......more
