A goblin’s friendship beyond the dungeon

Goblin’s familiar life with Skeleton is upended when adventurers take his friend and the dungeon’s treasure. The rescue mission sends this cheerful homebody beyond the place he knows, where he must reckon with how others view goblins. The setup pairs a fantasy quest with a clear friendship story: Goblin’s effort to help Skeleton also brings questions of belonging and first impressions into the adventure. The dungeon, its treasure, and the self-described “heroic” intruders give the conflict a playful storybook frame, while Goblin’s journey provides the book’s central change of scene.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 interested in fantasy adventures
  • Young readers who enjoy stories about friendship and helping a friend
  • Families looking for a picture-book premise involving goblins, skeletons, and adventurers

Book overview

Nobody likes a goblin... until they see how far he'll go for a friend.

Goblin, a cheerful little homebody, lives in a cosy, rat-infested dungeon, with his only friend, Skeleton. Every day, Goblin and Skeleton play with the treasure in their dungeon. But one day, a gang of "heroic" adventurers bursts in. These marauders trash the place, steal all the treasure, and make off with Skeleton--leaving Goblin all alone!

It's up to Goblin to save the day. But first he's going to have to leave the dungeon and find out how the rest of the world feels about goblins.
