The Return of the Goblins
Amazon.com
My review -
Wobbles,
as Lisa's brother Jeremy calls her, is a girl named Lisa who has Snort the dragon
as a friend. Her brother is friendly with the man next door who is expecting a
delivery of lizard eggs. He shouldn't be keeping them as they are rare. The
Goblins want them, and they wouldn't mind eating Jeremy – after he's stolen the
eggs for them.
I
read this story to my granddaughters one holiday, a chapter each evening. I
thought they might find the more horrid aspects of the goblins' characters
rather frightening for bedtime but they loved them. It was exciting, not scary
and as little girls they were rooting for Wobbles. When I read that the third
Snort and Wobbles book would be called The Headless Horseman, they cheered!
Bring it on, says Gran.
