  • "Una seductora novela de fantasía y aventuras situada en un país imaginario llamado Zombay. Allí, un chico se escapa de la casa para niños huérfanos en la que vive y se une a una compañía de teatro de duendes para encontrar a su hermano desaparecido. Muy pronto comienza a participar como actor en piezas teatrales. Pero estas obras no son sólo para el entretenimiento, y las máscaras que utilizan los actores son más que una fantasía.--Provided by the publisher."
  • "In the National Book Award'winning Goblin Secrets, a boy joins a theatrical troupe of goblins to find his missing brother. In the town of Zombay, there is a witch named Graba who has clockwork chicken legs and moves her house around'much like the fairy tale figure of Baba Yaga. Graba takes in stray children, and Rownie is the youngest boy in her household. Rownie's only real relative is his older brother Rowan, who is an actor. But acting is outlawed in Zombay, and Rowan has disappeared. Desperate to find him, Rownie joins up with a troupe of goblins who skirt the law to put on plays. But their plays are not only for entertainment, and the masks they use are for more than make-believe. The goblins also want to find Rowan'because Rowan might be the only person who can save the town from being flooded by a mighty river. This accessible, atmospheric fantasy takes a gentle look at love, loss, and family while delivering a fast-paced adventure that is sure to satisfy."@en
