Bera the One-Headed Troll by Eric Orchard
4.0
Loved the protagonist, Bera the One-Headed troll. A pumpkin gardener by trade, Bera finds herself unexpectedly saddled with a human baby.
I loved the dark palette (seemed suited to a troll who might turn to stone if she’s exposed to the sun.) Some of the elements seemed Miyazaki-esque to me—the pipe-smoking hedgehogs and the bewigged Witch, for example.
My quibble: aside from a bottle provided by the hedgehogs, I couldn’t figure out what Bera fed that baby!
