About This Book

Here's a secret: Gar the Goblin doesn't fit in at his spooky school because he's kind and loyal, which is totally unusual for a goblin. But when everyone expects him to be cruel and mean, Gar decides to prove he can be unpleasant—only to discover that being himself might be the real adventure. And that’s just the beginning of what he learns about friendship and bravery.
