Sprout is a young goblin. Young goblins often get into scrapes. That's probably all you need to know, because who doesn't like to read about others getting out of tricky situations, especially when they're goblins? When Sprout witnesses a Biglander stealing his ma's ring, at a time when he should've been looking after it, he knows he has to get it back. Aided by his uncle Long Tooth, he makes a plan. Even though this task will take him out of The Forest of the Hooting Owl, a place that only forest dwellers know is there, because it is hidden behind a veil of magic, he is determined to succeed. His ma's happiness depends upon him. How many attempts will it take? Is it even possible to do? And what is the truth about the Biglander who managed to get into the forest? The Goblin and the Stolen Ring is a 15,000 word tale for children aged 8-12 and anyone else who is young of heart. Sprout's waiting for you right now. Why not join him on his adventures today?

Goblins aren't supposed to engage in the practice of walking dogs. Neither are they meant to attempt to save witches. And they most certainly aren't in the business of facing up to big, bad trolls. Sprout has never been one to do what he's expected to do. That tends to get him into trouble. This time is no different. Has Sprout taken on more than he can cope with? Has he chewed on one too many magic herbs? The answers are within these pages, for those who dare to take the journey alongside a young, adventurous goblin, in order to find out the truth. The Goblin and the Child Witch is a tale for children aged 8-12 and anyone else who is young of heart. Sprout's waiting for you right now. Why not join him on his second adventure today?

When an unexpected face appears at the door to Sprout's cave in Coven's Corner, he knows that secrets are at risk of coming out. The question is, who is going to have to tell the truth, because Wizards aren't easy to hide. Sprout has his work cut out trying to keep things running smoothly, what with hooting owls butting in on conversations, a sprite determined to catch up with a promise-bearer and a riddle frog on a mission to fulfil his destiny. Wandering around the forest turns out to be much more challenging than he could ever have imagined. How easy is it to trick a sprite? Who is prepared to eat wriggly food? Are hooting owls all-knowing, or just all-seeing? Find out today by taking a leaf out of Sprout's book and entering The Forest of the Hooting Owl. The Goblin and a Wizard Search, Book Three in the Tales from the Forest of the Hooting Owl Series, is a book for children aged 8-12 and anyone else who is young of heart.

There are many long-held superstitions in The Forest of the Hooting Owl. Some are just that, superstitions, with no basis in fact. Others are not so harmless. Hare dares are such a case. On the day in question, Sprout does not look away from the hare in time and is given a dare. Can the young goblin manage to complete it and avoid the consequences of failing? Sprout's day is further complicated by the appearance of Pickle Lily, the sprite he tricked out of a promise. She has some pressing demands of her own. Once again, Sprout cannot refuse, if he wants things to stay as they are. Dark rivers, the Stock and Stuff market, faerie riddles and a visit to the most dangerous part of the forest. Is this Sprout's worst day ever, or his crowning glory? Time to find out. The Goblin and a Magic Trail, Book Four in the Tales from the Forest of the Hooting Owl, is a tale for children of 8-12 years old and anyone else who is young of heart. Get your copy today.

Never eat the berries. This is something Sprout was taught from a very young age, because no one wants to experience faerie wrath. However, a witch who wasn't brought up in the forest might be tempted, especially in the abundance of the now constant summer in The Forest of the Hooting Owl. How can a witch who has broken faerie law be kept safe, a witch who shouldn't even be in the forest? A possible solution comes from a totally unexpected place, which involves a good deal of trust. But will it work? An adventurous tale of hiding, waiting, tests of magic, and some excellent photography skills, awaits those who dare to follow along. The Goblin and a Faerie Tail*, Book Five in the Tales from the Forest of the Hooting Owl, is a story for children aged 8-12 years old and anyone else who is young of heart.

Sprout's final adventure is about to begin and it's his most important one yet. When there's a mission to be undertaken, you can be sure Sprout's at the front of the queue for a spot on the team, especially when the aim is to find the place where all those banished by hare dares have been sent. He has a very good reason for wanting to go. He needs to find out what happened to his pa. It turns out that it's quite a long journey and involves running, magic, flying, danger and more magic. There's even a point at which Sprout is put in charge of a train. That's enough to tire the most energy-full goblin. But will the intrepid travellers find what they came for? Sprout's counting on it. His ma's counting on it. Because, if they succeed, it's possible that Sprout's family could be complete again. Find out the answers to this, and many other questions, by purchasing your copy of The Goblin and a Family Tree today. The Goblin and a Family Tree is a fantasy tale aimed at children aged 8-12.
