From the author of the best selling children's book The Lonely Giraffe published by Bloomsbury.
The Toad Goblins is the second in the Earthworld series that follows Janice and Peter along with their special friends into the magical world that is just below your feet!
Janice and Peter take their friends on more magical visits to Earthworld and have a run in with Pyxis - the tunnel hag that once was a royal princess but was thrown out of the Crystal Cavern for her jealous and wicked ways. The children manage to fool Pyxis and escape her terrible imps. They visit other parts of Earthworld but are warned to stay well clear of the toad goblins' territory. The evil twins, Max and Melissa, are still trying to discover the secret of the small group of friends but they are easy to trick and the secret is safe. That is until Janice's father is hurt at his job on a building site. The only way to heal her dad is to take him into Earthworld and carry him to the healing pool. The problem is that the healing pool is in toad territory and fiercely guarded by Cygog and his brutal toad goblins! It is a dangerous journey and made harder when Max and Melissa discover the children's secret and tell their greedy father. The perilous journey into toad territory is completed at a devastating cost and they return to find that Melissa's dad is on their trail. Then things go from bad to worse when the enemies of the Crystal Cavern attack and the children are trapped in Earthworld. Only the wizard Zosma can save them. But will they all survive their visit to a place they thought was a dream and that has now become a nightmare?
