A goblin's guide to young adult fantasy

By Snooze Goblin

Are you interested in fantasy? We've got worlds of goblins, necromancers and phoenixes.

Fine day, young squire!

I am your humble librarian servant, here to help you find your next favourite book especially if you are an adventurer of fantasy. I've got some lip-smacking good reads! Sorry I have a tendency to eat any book I find particularly good. Honestly it is a habit I want to squash; my boss is a dragon and is a little loose with her fire breathing. She wouldn't be impressed if she found out. Please don't tell her about that... Anyhoo here is a selection of fantasy for your perusal.

I shall be back soon with a strange story to tell. If you need me before then all you have to do is jump backwards three times before yelling "I'm a Fopdoodle" at a tree that looks like Michael Cera.
