Goblin Secrets
Signed by the author on the title page. Ages 8 and up. In the town of Zombay, humans are forbidden to wear masks, perform plays, or pretend to be other than what they are. Months ago, the Mayor's Guard raided an illegal play, and Rownie's actor brother Rowan disappeared. Hoping to find him, young Rownie joins a theatrical troupe of goblins. The goblins welcome Rownie; they also want to find Rowan, who might be the only person who can stop the mighty River from flooding the town.
Recommended by Elizabeth: A very enjoyable, not too scary fantasy. I particularly enjoyed the goblin theater troupe, and the behind the scenes look at live theater and acting.
