Goblin at the Beach

By Victor Kelleher About · Illustrated by Stephen Michael King About

From the ski slopes of the Snowy Mountains to the rainforests of Far North Queensland – and everywhere in between – Gibblewort the goblin has blundered, crawled and whinged his way through Australia’s vast landscape. So surely a relaxing day at the beach will be safe?! Not if ‘fun in the sun’ includes frying your feet on hot sand, accidentally chugging down sun cream and hitching a ride on an angry shark. Can Gibblewort beat the heat and finally get back home to rainy ol’ Ireland?
