Synopsis
Cara has shut herself away in her bedroom and is refusing to go to school. From her high window she can see the garden gnome in her neighbour’s crèche that used to frighten her when she was being minded there. But now it’s the thought of trolls that scare her. Trevor’s mother worries about Trevor’s inability to stay any length of time in his room. He seems to be always going out somewhere and she worries that he’s getting into trouble with his group of friends. But could he be the prince to rescue Cara from her lonely exile?
