No One Returns from the Enchanted Forest -- Robin Robinson, Paperback

An American Library Association 2021 Best Graphic Novel for Children

In this fantasy adventure graphic novel from debut author-illustrator Robin Robinson, a shy goblin must play the role of hero.

Bix and Pella are goblins sisters with very different dispositions. Bix is a worrywart who is most content when she's home knitting. Her little sister, Pella, is an impetuous thrill seeker who is always getting in trouble. When Pella's thirst for adventure leads her into the Enchanted Forest--a strange and dangerous place that no goblin has ever safely returned from--Bix is forced to leave her comfort zone to save her. Elemental demigods and countless hungry monsters stand in her way, but Bix is about to learn that even a worrywart can become a hero.

About the Author
No One Returns from the Enchanted Forest is Robin Robinson's author-illustrator debut, after drawing The City on the Other Side with writer Mairghread Scott. Robin lives in a house that looks like someone threw a Halloween party in a library and forgot to clean up afterward. The pet rats only add to this impression.
