About Goblin Boys

Summer is full of perfect days for adventure, especially if you are a goblin boy

Bring a cousin, and head out over the Old Troll Bridge, into the Forest, across a stream… Well, that is a recipe for finding something unusual. For Nog and Elvi, it’s an ordinary-looking wall, with a convenient gap for a path.

Of course they go through. Of course the path changes behind them. Of course they are lost, trapped away from their home.

There’s nothing to do but go on, into an unfamiliar world of Wyverns and Wimbits, Falconians and Fairies—and a few relatives, too. Will Nog’s and Elvi’s courage and curiosity help them find their way past the challenges and traps that lie ahead… or  make them more likely to get caught and never find their way home?
