Quest Kids And The Mystery Of The Goblin Gazebo

In the wake of the narrow escape from the evil Doug (an ex-bard determined to bum out and rule the world), the Quest Kids' leader, Ned, was turned into a Doug-loving zombie by Doug's powerful soul-stealing gem. The rest of the Quest Kids--Terra, Boulder, Gil, and Ash--have spent a year wandering the Seven Kingdoms, going from town to town trying to warn the people of Doug's impending invasion. But always too late! By the time they revive Ned, all but one kingdom--the Goblin citadel of Dunglemire--has been transformed into mindless Doug fans. Arriving at Dunglemire, the Quest Kids find a huge encampment of Doug followers, ready for the biggest soul-stealing event of all time: Dougfest! The Quest Kids must work fast to pierce the impassable walls of Dunglemire, make common cause with the mysterious, and reputedly hideous, Goblins, and solve the mystery of an ancient spell that can neutralize Doug and free the world. Using their wits, magic, and questing knowledge (as well as the help of a flame-farting dog-lizard thing), can the Quest Kids stop this world conquerer? And can they reunite Ned and his long-lost parents? Mixing clever diary-style writing with charming graphic novel sequences, Mark Leiknes once again takes readers on a hilarious romp through the perilous world of the Quest Kids.
