Thirteen-year-old Liam Cyprus expects little from his family\u2019s move to the drearily named town of The Dumps. Then fearless Em-j recruits him into the Fellowship of the Otherworldly Arcana, a club investigating the town\u2019s strangest mysteries. When local girl Rayna Cade disappears and troubling clues lead toward the Mossy-Moon Forest, Liam joins the search, confronting the unsettling possibility that mythical creatures are very real.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Marshall gives this middle-grade fantasy mystery an appealingly distinctive personality, balancing supernatural danger with the everyday rhythms of childhood. Liam\u2019s skeptical first-person perspective makes him an effective entry point into a town where witches, werewolves, goblins, and magical protections are treated as ordinary facts of life. Em-j\u2019s confidence, Grunt\u2019s analytical nature, and Wren\u2019s bubblegum-chewing composure create a lively ensemble.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sensory details, improvised investigations, strange clues, and increasingly unnerving encounters keep the mystery moving. Marshall also leaves intriguing corners of The Dumps unexplored, promising plenty of supernatural trouble ahead. A quirky, spirited fantasy mystery with mischief to spare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>***<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Lost-Goblin-Map-Dumps\/dp\/106928324X\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Buy now<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Pub date July 17, 2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">ISBN 978-1069283245<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Print length 125 pages<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Reading age 8-13 years<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Price $10.99 Paperback, $3.25 Kindle edition<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Clever, quirky, and packed with supernatural mischief.&nbsp; Marshall turns one boy\u2019s unwanted move into a wonderfully offbeat adventure in this engaging middle-grade novel.
