Book Description:
An old tale tells the story of
how a little man named Rumpelstiltskin spun straw into gold and tricked a
desperate girl into trading away her baby. But that’s not exactly how it
happened.
The real story began with a
drunken father who kept throwing money away on alcohol and women, while his
daughter, Aoife, ran the family farm on her own. When he gambled away
everything they owned to the Duke, it was up to her to spin straw into gold to
win it all back.
With her wits and the help of a
magical guardian, she outsmarted the Duke and saved the day.
Well almost…
Her guardian suddenly turned on
Aoife and sent her on a quest to find his name, the clues to which were hidden
deep in the woods, a moldy dungeon, and a dead woman’s chamber.
This is not the tale of a damsel
in distress, but a tenacious, young woman who solved a mystery so great that
not even the enchanted man who spun straw into gold could figure it out.
Not until Aoife came along.

About
the Author:
Bonnie grew up a shy, quiet girl
who the teachers always seated next to the noisy boys because they knew she was
too afraid to talk to anyone. She always had a lot she wanted to say but was
too afraid to share it for fear she might die of embarrassment if people actually
noticed her. Somewhere along the line, perhaps after she surprised her eighth
grade class by standing up to a teacher who was belittling a fellow student,
she realized that she had a voice and she didn’t burst into flames when her
classmates stared at her in surprise.
Not long after that, she began
spinning tales, some of which got her into trouble with her mom. Whether
persuading her father to take her to the candy store as a little girl or
convincing her parents to let her move from Los Angeles to Manhattan to pursue
a career at eighteen as a ballet dancer with only $200 in her pocket, Bonnie
has proven that she knows how to tell a compelling story.
Now she spends her time reading
and making up stories for her two children at night. By day she is an English
teacher who never puts the quiet girls next to the noisy boys and works hard to
persuade her students that stories, whether they are the ones she teaches in
class or the ones she tells to keep them from daydreaming, are better escapes
than computers, phones, and social media.
