HAVE you ever dreamed of creatures just steps away living in your nearby forest?
One can only guess what or who is lurking within the trees, ravines, brooks, or under foot.
Are they friend, or foe?
Are they zombies, ready to eat your brains?
Or fairies to delight and entertain you with their grace and charm?
Perhaps mischievous elves, wanting to place you under their spell?
What about frolicking water nymphs, to serenade and calm you with a tranquil dance.
Or maybe, just maybe, something more...

Gabe is an average fifteen-year-old goblin. He’s in the marching band, breezes through calculus, and gets picked on daily by the other kids at school, especially the ogres. Gabe’s closest friends are goblins like him, but Gabe is tired of being a goblin – he’d like to try other things. And he has his eye on the new ogress at school. It’s against all beastly rules, but there’s just something about her.
When a prank goes wrong, Gabe is forced to join the football team as punishment – but finds a way to make it work. Soon the whole school is getting in on the fad of mingling with other species. Too bad the adults have to step in and ruin things by threatening to destroy the school and split up Broken Branch Falls. And Gabe is their scapegoat. With help from friends, old and new, Gabe sets out on a quest for the Book of Ages, which holds the laws of all beastkind and hopefully the key to saving Broken Branch Falls. After all that trouble, it better work.
Tara Tyler started out as a math teacher. After having a hand in everything from waitressing to rocket engineering and living up and down the Eastern US, she now writes and teaches in Ohio with her three active boys and Coach Husband. Currently, she has two series, The Cooper Chronicles (techno-thriller detective capers) and Beast World (MG fantasy) She's an adventure writer who believes every good story should have action, a moral, and a few laughs!

Congratulations, Tara!! It looks really cute.
I caught up on writing this weekend. It had been so long...
Just an "average 15 year old goblin." Cute. And it seems to me that joining the football team makes sense as a punishment. Heck WATCHING football would be a punishment for me!
To answer your question: as a matter of fact I used to dream of that when I was a kid. ;)
I really love this cover. The story sounds great and filled with lots of boyish. Congratulations to Tara!
Congratulations Tara sure it will be a success..
Yvonne.
That looks adorable!
Congrats to Tara. Seeing her awesome cover everywhere.
Cool cover. And I love the idea of a story about goblins. Congrats to Tara!
Congrats to Tara! It sounds like a really cool book. :)
I've been reading about this world in bits and pieces through Tara's A to Z posts. So happy to finally get the blurb and the cover (awesome!). Congrats Tara!!!
Awesome intro!
It sounds like such a cool book; I'm looking forward to reading it.

This looks like such a fun book. Love the cover! Congrats to Tara!
I didn't participate in the A to Z, and I'm still playing catch-up. How pathetic is that? :)

The description had me chuckling!
Congrats to Tara and another awesome intro, Michael :)
I've seen this book everywhere today, but your introduction caught my attention like no other. She should hire you as her publicist!
Makes me wonder what's living somewhere in the forest outside my office window!!!?
