Grump The (Fairly) True Tale of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves by Liesl Shurtliff*

Grump, a dwarf, longs to live on The Surface.  He panics if he must go deep under the earth which is atypical for the mining occupations dwarves always have!  To his horror,  he is assigned to the crew which is digging at the deepest point out of their colony.  Adding to his misery, he is the seventh dwarf of the crew.  The seventh dwarf must do whatever anyone else commands him/her to do. 
Then one day he escapes to the surface to find himself under the command of the wicked stepmother/queen of Snow White. 
What does Grump long for the most?  A friend. 
The reader will relate to Grump's longing to be understood, to have a friend and to be appreciated for who he is.
*Highly recommend.

I read this aloud to my boys (we own the other titles in this series) and we all enjoyed it!
