  Lovereading4kids reader reviews of Wrestling Trolls Match 1: Big Rock and the Masked Avenger by Jim Eldridge

  ‘I really like Wrestling Trolls. I really like Robin the horse because he talks, Big Rock because he’s nice, Jack because he saves Princess Ava, and Princess Ava because she wrestles!’

  Richie, age 7

  ‘Wrestling Trolls is an action-packed book with awesome wrestling moves. The characters are clever and funny. I loved the story and can’t wait to read the next instalment.’

  Jacob, age 9

  ‘The story had funny parts, action and good characters. Some of my favourite parts were Jack turning into a wrestling troll and I liked Robin the horse because he was grumpy and helpful.’

  Jack, age 8

  ‘It was brilliant! I liked how Jack changed into Thud – I won’t tell you what Thud is so I don’t give away the story … I really liked the song and keep singing it.’

  George, age 7

  ‘Wrestling Trolls is exciting because it is full of action. This book is fantastic if you like lots of wrestling and people being rescued from bad guys.’

  Thomas, age 7

  ‘I give it 10/10 even though I don’t like wrestling, because I liked the story!’

  Alexander, age 8
