Books with title The Armenian Earthquake

Things begin to go wrong at the O’Grady farm as soon as the troll moves in on them. Their parents try to pass off the odd happenings with logical explanations but Rafe and Ansel are sure the troll has brought bad luck to the farm. The boys recognize a pattern in what is taking place – a developing chain of ominous events not easily explained by coincidence.A week after the troll arrived, their parents go to visit their sister and the teenaged boys are left to tend to the farm on their own for a few days. But almost immediately after the parents leave, a strange little man appears who offers to remove the troublesome troll. In fact, he professes to be an expert at ridding people of trolls. It’s his profession, his life’s work.Thus begins a three-day adventure for Rafe and Ansel that is whimsical and fantastic, frightening and enlightening, filled with events they will never forget.This book is written at a reading level of 9-12 years of age, but it's a story that can be enjoyed by adults as well as children. There is a lot of symbolism and depth that goes well beyond the simple story about the issues caused by having a troll on your property.

Excerpt from The EarthquakeRip Van Winkle was no less in touch with affairs in the valley of the Hudson on his return home after his twenty years' sleep among the Catskills than my wife, my daughter, and myself were with those of these United States when we descended from our sleeper to the upper platform of the Grand Central Station upon our return to New York City in the autumn of 1917. In many respects, allowing for the greater velocity of life in the twentieth century, our cases were not dissimilar. For ten months, under a doctor's orders, we had wandered in the Orient, and returned home to find ourselves in what was presently to prove a new world.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
