We took what little treasure we found and ran out of there. Without any discussion, we attacked and won. There they were-two goblins walking down the hallway. The adventuring party was worried because we had already been chased out by a troll that we knew we could not handle. My level one druid heard a noise in the hallway. There I was, a teenager hopped up on Mountain Dew. Hatke’s storytelling can appeal to any child, though. Just buy the book (or read further if you would like). If you have ever enjoyed role-playing games, Tolkien novels, or just cheering for the underdog, you have no reason to read further. Something tells me that before Ben Hatke wrote this book he took out his 20-sided die and won his saving throw against writer’s block because NOBODY LIKES A GOBLIN is in the top five best children’s books I have ever enjoyed. In the interest of full disclosure, I received a complimentary advanced electronic copy of NOBODY LIKES A GOBLIN through Netgalley.
