Goblins Awakening

+ Good but Scary
+ Book two just as fun

The characters in the story are three kids Mallory, Simon, and Jared. They moved into a new house, that was their aunt's old house. The story builds up with each book because there are five books. At the end of each book, it begins a new book which is my favorite; it makes me want to read more. ...

After seeing the movie, which I loved, I purchased this book to give it a try. I know it's a children's book but thought what the heck. I loved the illustrations in the book, I wish "grown-up" books had pictures too. The reading was easy, as it should be. The book is very short, wish they would ...

I have always had a particular interest in children/teen fantasy. I normally am an adult fantasy reader, but sometimes it is nice to read a book that isn't trying to play off like the real world. This book is such a clever, compelling read that I was sorely disappointed to have to wait for more. ...
