    About this ebook

    Longarm the boggle loves his little bridge. After all he makes a good living with the toll he demands from travelers wanting to cross it! When that nasty old ogre appears and steals it from him, he will do everything in his power to get it back. But will strenuous exercise and brawn be enough or will it take something else? Will the boggle succeed in his effort to reclaim what is rightfully his or will it die in the attempt? A fun read for all kids who have to face annoying bullies and for their parents who insist on feeling young inside
