Wat een ongelooflijk leuk boek! Oké, het is eigenlijk gericht op kinderen, maar op sommige momenten is het wel een heel donker kinderboek. Het hele boek zelf was eigenlijk niet echt wat ik had verwacht (vooral een heel ander verhaal). Maar de avonturen waarin Twig zich stort (vooral per ongeluk) zijn enorm leuk en volgen elkaar heel snel op, het verhaal zakt nooit in elkaar maar blijft gaan. En het einde is gewoon superlief :D.

My brother recommended this series to me so I borrowed the 1st book from the library. I honestly wasn't expecting much because these aren't very popular but I was wrong.
This was a fun read. The fantasy world is rich and Twig's story is full of adventure and humourous lessons. It starts out a little slow/annoying the mother troll I found incredibly annoying and there are definitely some annoying sound effects but I think kids would love it.
While there are some things that may be a bit more complicated to understand I think this would be fun for both kids and adults. I am definitely going to buy this as a series for my future children to listen to on road trips.

Funny, great illustrations, slightly kiddish at points, but a great and unexpected climax. Worth spending time on.

This is one of those series, like the famous Harry Potter, and like the Chrestomanci series of Diana Wynne Jones, that I used to fervently and desperately wish were real. Or rather, that felt so real incredibly real that I simply couldn't believe they weren't. Yes, my 11th birthday was somewhat spoiled with the absence of a letter from Hogwart's, but it's no time to dwell on that.
I remember first reading this aged 11, at a very unhappy time in my childhood, and it was the very best escape into fantasy I could have hoped for. The world that Paul Stewart paints for us is simply magical, without leaning on all of the cliches of typical fantasy elements. It is entirely original, and wonderful.
For me, this series is deeply, deeply underrated. I never hear it mentioned, and nobody I know seems to remember it from their own childhood. This list didn't mention it when I was surfing earlier. I am really shocked that it continues to lie so far under the radar.
I have read the earlier books in the series dozens of times over the years, and have recently discovered a couple of newer ones that I haven't read, so I will be re-reading the entire series again. Every time I re-read them, the books never lose their magical quality, never become old. Definite 5-star.
