First Snow

When the snow comes, you can tell that
winter is getting near. This is the ninth
story in the book, the next-to-last one.
The main character is Theresa Troll, the
second oldest Troll child. A new girl-troll
moves into the neighborhood. Doe's family
have had to leave their home and move to
Lapland. Unfortunately, not everyone is
eager to have people who look and act
differently living near them. Theresa wants
to make Doe feel welcome in her new home.
But what will happen when the school
bullies start teasing Doe? Will Theresa be
able to help her new friend?

You can see a picture of Theresa cross-
country skiing below. From the look on her
face, you can tell she's determined to ski
as fast as she can. But she has a vulnerable
side, too. Find out more by reading the story!
