Midsummer

Midsummer is a major festival in all
the Nordic countries: the celebration
of the summer solstice. And this year
it's an extra-special holiday for the Troll
family. In the fifth story in the book,
Timothy Troll, the oldest Troll child,
has some foreign penpals who have
come to visit him, Liza and Peter. They
want to find out all about life in Lapland,
and most of all, they want to see the
midnight sun. Meanwhile, some of the
Troll girls have a special plan involving
Liza and Timothy, a well, some flowers
and a bit of Midsummer magic. Will their
plans work? Read the story and find out
what happens! You'll also meet Romulus,
the family's pet reindeer.

You can see a picture of Timothy below.
He looks kind of impatient, doesn't he?
He's waiting for his friends to arrive, and
the train is late. I'm sure you'd be
impatient, too!
