“You know you are in the hands of a master storyteller when a dangerous yet frivolous fantasy world is brought to life with such imagination that it not only entertains and amuses - it actually seems real and makes its own curious sense. Phillip Reeve has created such a world in his marvellous new book Goblins… playful and witty... I wouldn't be surprised if there is a sequel and hooray for that because Goblins is an utterly charming delight and children will love it”

“Wry and funny, with some gloriously slapstick moments, not to mention a few disgustingly icky ones… An exciting story, full of scary creatures and dangerous situations. All the traditional elements of the heroic ballads are there, from knights and magic swords to mysterious strangers and dangerous quests, but they are twisted and distorted into wildly funny new forms, so that the whole feels fresh and vivid... The appearance of any new Philip Reeve book is an event in the book world, and this one is up there with the best of them. Don't miss it!”
