Summary:	"No one returns from the Enchanted Forest ... it's a saying every goblin knows by heart. But that won't discourage Pella. Earthquakes are destroying her village, and worst of all, they've caused the Midsummer Festival to be canceled. According to legend, the Earth Queen is to blame for these violent quakes--and her tower lies at the heart of the Enchanted Forest. Late one night, Pella sneaks away to find the Earth Queen and give her a piece of her mind. But she's not afraid--she's never afraid. It's Bix, Pella's sister, who does the worrying for both of them. But despite her fears and the very real dangers that lie ahead, Bix will do anything to protect her sister--even walk into the Enchanted Forest with only a ball of yarn to guide them home. They say no one returns from the Enchanted Forest. Will Bix and Pella be the first?"--Page 2 of cover

An American Library Association 2021 Best Graphic Novel for Children

In this fantasy adventure graphic novel from debut author-illustrator Robin Robinson, a shy goblin must play the role of hero.

Bix and Pella are goblins sisters with very different dispositions. Bix is a worrywart who is most content when she’s home knitting. Her little sister, Pella, is an impetuous thrill seeker who is always getting in trouble. When Pella’s thirst for adventure leads her into the Enchanted Forest—a strange and dangerous place that no goblin has ever safely returned from—Bix is forced to leave her comfort zone to save her. Elemental demigods and countless hungry monsters stand in her way, but Bix is about to learn that even a worrywart can become a hero.

- (McMillan Palgrave)

Author Biography

No One Returns from the Enchanted Forest is Robin Robinson’s author-illustrator debut, after drawing The City on the Other Side with writer Mairghread Scott. Robin lives in a house that looks like someone threw a Halloween party in a library and forgot to clean up afterward. The pet rats only add to this impression. - (McMillan Palgrave)
