Bao and the Goblin Road
Every morning, Bao the panda delivers letters around the quiet village of Plumford.
Until one mysterious green envelope changes everything.
A hidden road appears where no road should exist, leading Bao beyond the ordinary world into enchanted kingdoms, wandering castles, forgotten rivers, moonlit tournaments, goblin cities, living libraries, and places where stories themselves are in danger of being lost forever.
Accompanied by Rudi Redtail-a fearless (and gloriously overconfident) red squirrel duelist who lives beneath Bao's enormous travelling hat-and Burr Brambleburrow, an elderly badger giant-hunter who has spent his entire life searching for creatures no one believes exist, Bao discovers that the Goblin Road is slowly fading. Ancient magic is unravelling, forgotten promises are awakening, and somewhere beyond the horizon a lost Goblin King waits inside an unfinished story.
To save the Road, the unlikely trio must do more than battle strange creatures and outwit clever villains. They must restore forgotten names, mend broken friendships, deliver impossible letters, and prove that kindness can be stronger than fear.
Filled with whimsical adventure, unforgettable characters, humour, heart, and fairy-tale wonder, Bao and the Goblin Road is a magical collection of twelve interconnected stories.
Perfect for readers who believe that the greatest adventures begin with a single step... and sometimes with a letter that simply says, Deliver me.
