Turner Publishing Company The Fallen Star: Billy Smith and the Goblins,
Book Synopsis“If kinging were easy, everyone would do it.” With help from his friends, Billy Smith—the unlikeliest of heroes—overthrew the corrupt General Sawtooth and claimed the Goblin Crown. But his perilous journey to save the goblin race has just begun. The powerful Hanorian Army is gathered at the gates of Kiranok, threatening to invade the goblin city and wipe out everyone within. So the inhabitants of Mother Mountain must draw on their deepest strengths for the battle to come: Billy, a burgeoning leader, crafts military strategy while fending off foes from within the goblin ranks; Lexi, her magic growing, trades firepower with the mighty wizard Mig; and steadfast Hop and stalwart Kurt set off in pursuit of a mysterious Fallen Star, perhaps their only hope for defeating the enemy—but did it awaken an even darker force in the universe? Billy, Lexi, Kurt, and the goblins soon realize the true meaning of duty, death, and destiny—and that the wages of war come at a steep price.Trade Review"The sequel exceeds any expectations fans of The Goblin Crown might have... This is a throughly enjoyable book, with so many relatable moments for middle grade readers starting to wonder where their place in the world is, and starting to realize the weight of consequences." —Red Hen Bookshop Praise for THE GOBLIN CROWN "The characters are well-developed, believably imperfect, and multicultural (Billy himself is biracial); the plot moves briskly; and the goblin dialect—sometimes humorous, sometimes startlingly poignant—is a real strength [...] It’s a solid start to the Billy and the Goblin series." - Publishers Weekly "Readers who fervently wish for the ability to jump into a mythical world like Middle-earth will enjoy this tale." ―School Library Journal "Wolfe, a television screenwriter, offers a story full of a surprising amount of emotional heft [...] a compelling series beginning." ―Kirkus 4/5 Stars: "Robert Hewitt Wolfe’s The Goblin Crown is the start to the fantasy series, Billy Smith and the Goblins, and combines the elements of goblin culture, disasters in high school and destiny, and is layered in mythology, adventure and magic. The Goblin Crown is sprinkled with themes and lessons from handling guilt to responsibility. Readers will relate to both the characters’ experiences and connect with the lessons learned. This is a coming of age novel that will delight readers who enjoy imaginative fantasy worlds full of suspense, adventure, and descriptive world building."—Portland Book Review "Robert Hewitt Wolfe accomplishes something magical. He creates a Tolkienesque fantasy world for young adults that feels lived in, original and accessible. He also gives us Billy Smith - a real boy from the real world, who discovers that “not fitting in” is what makes him so special. The Goblin Crown is exciting, emotional and unflinching." ―Ashley Edward Miller, co-author of Colin Fischer and co-writer of Thor and X-Men: First Class "The Goblin Crown is the smart, morally complex version of the heroic coming-of-age story that you've been waiting for." ―Charlie Jane Anders, author of All the Birds in the Sky "The Goblin Crown is a riveting, relatable, compelling journey into another realm. I found myself staying up late to read about Billy's adventures and his unlikely alliance with goblin leader Hop. Robert Hewitt Wolfe, who I know from his legendary work in the Star Trek universe, has set his sights on the fantasy genre with great success! Can't wait for more installments." ―Jennifer Brody, author of The 13th Continuum
