Oct 19, 2008 If you have a middle grade reader who likes funny books, Goblins!: An Underearth Adventure is right up their alley. My son loved this book. It has a lot of action, tons of laughs and even some gross stuff. One of the main characters is a twelve year old who is the son of the town drunk. The sheriff has taken him under his wing and is bailing the kid out of trouble quite often. The sheriff’s seventeen year old son and the other boy accidentally discover an entire new world underground. It is literally crawling with strange creatures.

I read the book with him, and have to admit it was fun to read. We are getting the other book by Royce Buckingham called Demonkeeper  to read next. Be sure to scroll down and watch the cute animated book trailer for Goblins! Oh yes, did I mention that the Goblins like to eat humans?

Get it on Amazon here.

Summary: Sneaking out into the woods near the Canadian border, Sam and PJ come across what looks like a mutant gorilla with a bad attitude. But it’s no ape- it’s a goblin, and thousands more of them live under the earth, kept in check only by a small corps of human Guardians.

Sam finds a tunnel below the surface, and in no time he’s in the goblins’ clutches. With goblin leaders Eww-Yuk and Slurp at odds, it will take all of PJ’s strength and ingenuity to get Sam back-but then again, how hard could it be to outsmart a goblin?

Featuring the high adventure and slapstick humor that made Demonkeeper a fantasy favorite, Goblins! is a subterranean romp that will keep readers laughing as they race through the pages to see what happens next.
