In the National Book Award–winning Goblin Secrets, a boy joins a theatrical troupe of goblins to find his missing brother.
Rownie, the youngest in Graba’s witchy household of stray children, escapes and goes looking for his missing brother. He joins a goblin theater troupe, learns about the secret origins of masks and stagecraft, discovers why acting is forbidden in Zombay, and saves his beloved city from looming disaster. This accessible, atmospheric fantasy takes a gentle look at love, loss, and family while delivering a fast-paced adventure that is sure to satisfy.
STARRED REVIEWS
KIRKUS – “wryly humorous and bearably yet excitingly menacing: Even while much is left unexplained, Rownie’s triumph is both gripping and tantalizing.”
