<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>When Anna and Nils meet Bob Gribble after school one night, little do they know that his true identity is Gribblebob, a goblin from the other side of the veil. As the mystery of his presence in their village unfolds, Anna and Nils's after-school routine is quite tipped on its head: they become embroiled in a wonderful adventure to save some books from a very evil witch, while also dealing with an invisible dog and two not entirely heroic heroes and making lots of new friends along the way.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>An original and hilarious story of wayward goblins, inept heroes and children who save the day, and magical books</b> <p/>The tranquil charms of Uppington Down are torn apart one day when Anna and Nils meet the alarmingly rude Robert Gribble on their way home from school. Before long, their lives take a bizarre turn: they join forces with this goblin in disguise and his nearly not-there dog Dimple in a desperate battle to stop Mara, the queen of nightmares, opening a hidden book of power and spilling terror across the world. <p/><i>Gribblebob's Book of Unpleasant Goblins</i> is a laugh-out-loud adventure which reminds us that with friends, family and belief you can stand up to the scariest of enemies. And if you have a ginger biscuit and an invisible dog, that helps too.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>- The ingredients are goblins, ginger biscuits, a slightly odd dog, books and magic!
