Synopsis: Hobgoblins are not real. They are things of legends, myths, and fairy tales. And that's what Peter and Andrew would have told you-before they met A Nubbins! But now as one brother is lured into the murky world of the supernatural, the other must turn to outside help and ancient lore for answers. Can he solve the mystery of A Nubbins before he loses his brother forever?
The Mystery of A Nubbins is a richly imagined adventure that feels like it stepped straight out of the Golden Age of Illustration. Each chapter opens with a pen & ink sketch, while fourteen traditionally painted oils are reproduced in full color and sprinkled throughout the novel.
Kirkus Reviews: A heartwarming brother dynamic blends well with a hint of the supernatural.
Readers' Favorite Five Stars Review: The Mystery of a Nubbins has a setting that is designed to delight young readers; it is imaginative, and the terrific descriptions of the woods and what it feels like to wander through them transported me back to my own childhood and the adventures I had growing up. I enjoyed the lyrical nature of the prose, the deft characterization, the symbolic illustrations, and the spellbinding suspense that keeps youngsters turning the pages. -Romuald Dzemo, Readers' Favorite
