Uptight elfin historian Brangwain Spurge is on a mission: survive being catapulted across the mountains into goblin territory, deliver a priceless peace offering to their mysterious dark lord, and spy on the goblin kingdom—from which no elf has returned alive in more than a hundred years. Brangwain’s host, the goblin archivist Werfel, is delighted to show Brangwain around. They should be the best of friends, but a series of extraordinary double crosses, blunders, and cultural misunderstandings throws these two bumbling scholars into the middle of an international crisis that may spell death for them—and war for their nations. A hilarious and biting social commentary that could only come from the likes of National Book Award winner M. T. Anderson and Newbery Honoree Eugene Yelchin, this tale is rife with thrilling action and a comic disparity that suggests the ultimate victor in a war is perhaps not who won the battles but who gets to write the history.

M. T. Anderson has written stories for adults, picture books for children, adventure novels for young readers, and several books for old readers. His satirical book Feed was a finalist for the National Book Award and was the winner of the L.A. Times Book Prize. When not traveling to exotic places and seeing the ruins of ancient cities, he resides near Boston, Massachusetts. For more information, visit him at mt-anderson.com.

Eugene Yelchin is a Russian-born American author, illustrator, painter, and conceptual artist. Breaking Stalin's Nose, a middle-grade novel that he wrote and illustrated, received a Newbery Honor and has been translated into ten languages. He currently resides in California with his wife and their two children. For more information, visit him at eugeneyelchinbooks.com.
