In a nutshell: delightfully topsy-turvy tale of magic and friendship | Matty the Goblin Princess is the odd one out in her family – she likes to be clean and tidy, which is definitely not the Goblin way. But when her fairy friends tell her that the nasty Hobgoblins are planning to spoil her parents’ Goblin Ball by – shock horror - tidying the palace, she determines to stop them. With the help of her little pet dragon and a magic frog Matty finds a way to thwart the Hobgoblins’ plans and save the day.
This exciting story of magic, friendship and family will thoroughly satisfy young readers, and they’ll love the topsy-turvyness of this grubby royal family! Pretty colour illustrations add to the appeal, on pages coloured a fetching shade of pond-water green. ~ Andrea Reece
No ordinary princess, no ordinary ball...Matty and her pet dragon live a funny, topsy turvy kind of life, in a world where being well mannered, good, clean and tidy is much frowned upon. As preparations for the Goblin ball get underway - the cobwebs are hung, the dirt swept in - Matty comes to hear of a band of Hobgoblins on the prowl ...She and her pet dragon must come to the rescue to ensure the success of the ball!
