The Ogress and the Orphans
The Ogress and the Orphans

Ogress accused; orphans unveil true villainy.

"The Ogress and the Orphans" is a heartwarming story that unfolds in a town gripped by suspicion and prejudice. The narrative brilliantly weaves together themes of community, trust, and the courage to stand up for the truth. It's a book that can spark rich discussions about empathy and the dangers of unfounded judgment, all while capturing your imagination with its fairy-tale-like quality.

Description

A fantasy about the power of generosity and love, and how a community suffers when they disappear. Stone-in-the-Glen, once a lovely town, has fallen on hard times. Fires, floods, and other calamities have caused the people to lose their library, their school, their park, and even their neighborliness. The people put their faith in the Mayor, a dazzling fellow who promises he alone can help. After all, he is a famous dragon slayer. (At least, no one has seen a dragon in his presence.) Only the clever children of the Orphan House and the kindly Ogress at the edge of town can see how dire the town’s problems are. Then, one day a child goes missing from the Orphan House. At the Mayor’s suggestion, all eyes turn to the Ogress. The Orphans know this can't be the Ogress, who, along with a flock of excellent crows, secretly delivers gifts to the people of Stone-in-the-Glen. But how can the Orphans tell the story of the Ogress’s goodness to people who refuse to listen? And how can they make their deluded neighbors see the real villain in their midst?
