His mother reminds him what happened to his ancestor, Rumplestiltskin, who stamped his way right through the floor.

Media Reviews
Ronnie is a totally believable character... as well as being extremely well written, the book is attractively presented with... lots of humorous line drawings, speech bubbles and short chapters. An excellent first novel for eight-year-olds to read themselves. The School Librarian. A humorous moral tale attractive to beginner readers. The Good Book Guide
