Excerpt from the Book:
Phoebe Gray was lost.
Not that she cared. School was out for the summer, and she was more than happy to say goodbye to third grade, and hello to West Virginia.
As you may know, forests are strange places. Like the creatures that reside within them, they are sometimes beautiful, and sometimes frightening, and sometimes fascinating.
For Phoebe, this forest was all of those things, and more.
The warm May sun dazzled down on her freckled skin and dark hair as she darted from tree to tree, pretending to ride a pink-spotted unicorn named Lollie.
“Look out for that witch, Lollie!” She gasped and pointed. “And look – her dragon is coming to eat us up.”
A dragon is a hungry thing, indeed, but Phoebe was hungrier.
Her stomach grumbled. Suddenly, she was tired, and hot, and grumpy.
And lost.
My Thoughts:
Phoebe gets lost in the woods of West Virginia. While she searches for her way back, she meets a strange creature. This creature turns out to be goblin Gnish-Gnash. Soon, a whole new world opens up for Phoebe, one with goblins, trolls, wizards, and magic. On this journey, she also discovers something about herself.Simple but engaging plot, it's a Middle-grade fantasy novel. It contains many positive messages, as befits such a book.
