Not all goblins are bad. Ben is unlike any other goblin he's ever met. He was born different and because of that, he's spent his life as an outcast. So, he decides to try his luck in the city of Saint Louis, the nearby home of goblinkind’s sworn enemy... humans. But will living with humans be any different or is Ben destined for a life of loneliness?

If you have ever misplaced something, but are sure you left it just there… it may be that your home has a Gobblin’ Goblin! This mischievous, almost invisible creature, with an elephant-like nose and eyes in the back of his head, likes to take your everyday things and hide them where you least expect them. This is a lovely story created by Lavona Thorndyke Roush for her grandchildren many years ago when they complained that their toys were missing. She then applied it to her husband when he complained of losing his eyeglasses and car keys. Finally illustrated and published when she was in her eighties, it is an enduring tale of a grandmother who is “just a little bit different” and who entertains with stories at the same time she makes a point. If you are a “just a little bit different,” or have children or grandchildren who are always “losing” things, then this is the perfect gift for them. After all, they might have a Gobblin’ Goblin roaming around their home, too!

For one to succeed, the other must fail... Before the Decree of Bright Magic passed, hedgewitches, far-seers, and even goblins had been tolerated by the church. Now working magic carries a death sentence, and when Makenna’s mother is drowned for her work as a hedgewitch, Makenna wreaks revenge on her village and flees into the wilderness. As she wanders north, Makenna rescues and befriends the goblins who are being burned out of their homes. She may be only a half-trained hedgewitch, but Makenna believes that with courage and cleverness they can create their own kingdom in the great northern woods, and repel any humans who seek to settle there. Sir Tobin has spent the last three years fighting the barbarian armies that attack the realm’s southern border each winter—every year their numbers are greater, and their magic grows stronger. So when a powerful priest tells Tobin that the realm’s only hope of survival is to move everyone into the northern woodlands, Tobin sees why this impossible feat is necessary. However the relocation can’t even start, because all the refugees who try to settle in the woods have been driven out by a powerful sorceress and her goblin army. Tobin has no magic himself, but he might be able to plant a charm in the sorceress’ lair that would allow the priests to find and destroy her—and the realm’s survival depends on his success. And the battle for the Goblin Wood begins.

The town of Reflection Falls has a problem…goblins! The annoying little creatures creep down from their caves in the mountains to steal vegetables from farms and gardens. The brave knights of the realm are far too busy keeping their lands safe from real threats, such as dragons and trolls, so the Goblin Squad was formed. When children reach the age of ten, they participate in a series of yearly contests in order to be chosen as the next members of the squad. Their duties involve patrolling the town and chasing away the goblins. But, a group of new recruits soon learn that there is more going on around Reflection Falls than just vegetable stealing. The adults are unaware, so the young friends decide to investigate the strange behavior of the goblins and soon find themselves far away from the safety of the town.

Makenna is a young hedge witch, forced to flee her village the day her mother is murdered for practicing magic. In the wilds of the forest, she forms an unexpected alliance with the mysterious goblins, and together they resolve to fight back against the humans and the cruel Decree of Bright Magic. But as Makenna grows more successful and her goblin army becomes stronger, her existence threatens the ruling Hierarchy's plans for the country. She evades every trap they set, until a young knight named Tobin comes to the Goblin Wood hoping to regain his lost honour. And each of them finds something else instead...

Jeriah’s brother, Tobin, is in terrible danger. He’s willingly crossed over to the Otherworld with a hedgewitch named Makenna and her legion of goblins. What Tobin doesn’t know is that the Otherworld is a perilous dimension that will leech the magic from those who have it—and the life from those who don’t. Searching for the key to rescue Tobin, Jeriah is thrust into a tangled web of political intrigue as he uncovers a dangerous secret that could change the fate of an entire kingdom. In order to save both his brother and the kingdom, Jeriah must get help from the very beings he’s been taught to hate—the mischievous goblins. Meanwhile, the clock is ticking for Tobin. . . .
