I have just finished reading Rump. Rump  is a book about a boy who's mother and father who  died before he was born. He knows nothing about his family and he lives with his grandmother in a village with no name . Everyday he has to go up to the mountain with many other people and mine for gold. The miller was the one who had to give out food to people depending on how much gold they find. He  had two sons who where rude to Rump because of his name and a daughter who does not come into the story   until later. There are also pixies who LOVE gold. Rump wants to know his real name . He has just discovered he can spin straw into gold, the king finds  rump holding gold in front of the millers house so the miller said his daughter opal spun the gold . Rump than goes to  on a journey to find any of his relatives. On his journey he encounters trolls, his three aunts, and a magical tree. Which  then his only friend  Red  gets captured by the miller. He then bribes rump with his friend's safety. In order to save her he has spin the gold for Opal . In that process he figures out his real name Rumpelstiltskin. After he spins all the gold he goes  outside and gathers all the pixies nests and wakes them up while in the castle because of that everyone got there attention off them and they were able to escape.
