Book of the Week
The heroic (but small) Raven Boy and Elf Girl are on their way to face the Goblin King, who is threatening to destroy their home. They have been chased by a giant, nearly eaten by trolls and biffed by a goat, but now they face their biggest challenge yet. Simon, a wizard, wants to turn them into stone.

Will they manage to outwit Simon? Will they escape the trolls, who still want to eat them? Will they ever stop squabbling long enough to try...

Synopsis:
Saving the world isn't going very well for Elf Girl and Raven Boy. They've left Fright Forest and crossed a huge plain to the worryingly named Monster Mountains, where they find a sign telling them to Turn Back. They really shouldn't have ignored it! It's not the strange wailing noises they hear in the dark, or the gigantic yeti who wants to eat them for breakfast that they find alarming, so much as the crazy wizard, Jeremy, who seems intent on adding Elf Girl and Raven Boy, not to mention Rat, to his collection of all too life-like stone statues.
