Description
Goblin lives in a cozy, rat-infested dungeon he cheerfully calls home. When his friend Skeleton is stolen away by "heroic" adventurers, Goblin is compelled to venture out for the first time.
Quick Summary
Goblin turns the fantasy trope upside down by showing readers that the "scary monster" in the dungeon is actually a friendly, well-meaning creature with a rat roommate and a cheerful outlook on life. The story bursts with humor and heart as Goblin teams up with unlikely companions and faces absurdly "heroic" adventurers who might not be as heroic as they seem. If your kid loves the silly monsters and friendship themes of "The Bad Guys" by Aaron Blabey, they'll absolutely adore this goblin's quest to rescue his Skeleton friend. Perfect for kids in kindergarten through third grade who want a quick, laugh-out-loud read with plenty of personality and a hero they can root for.
