Synopsis
Nimpentoad is a high fantasy early chapter book. Nimpentoad’s
shorter length (4,100 words) and stunning artwork resonate with kids
who prefer a faster, highly-illustrated alternative to the traditional
chapter book.
The
unlikely hero is bright-eyed Nimpentoad, a furry little creature who’s
been victimized by the bigger creatures of the ancient forest one too
many times. Nimpentoad convinces his fellow Niblings to make a perilous
journey to a castle where they hope to find refuge—if they can just
evade and outwit the ravenous goblins, trolls, rhinotaurs, and other
perils that stand in their way. With teamwork, perseverance, and
Nimpentoad’s leadership, the Niblings overcome these menaces and learn
important lessons.
