Winner of the 2012 National Book Award for juvenile fiction, Goblin Secrets is a compelling book, that seemed to me, half finished. I enjoyed it quite a bit, but felt that it all got wrapped up very quickly. Rownie lives in Southtown part of Zombay with Graba, the witch, and her assortment of not-quite grandchildren, the Grubs. Rownie is not of the Grubs, and he is also not quite a grandchild of the strange old woman. Rownie is trying to find his missing older brother, Rowan. There is a ban on plays and performances in Zombay, but Goblins are in some ways excepted from this. There is a creepy mayor who is up to something. There is an impending peril, and the wrath of an angered Graba. But then it is all over, wrapped up neatly. I hope the story continues.Check our catalog.
