Goblin Ways
Nellie has plans to be top of her class at her boarding school. But those plans take a wild turn when she begins transforming into a goblin!
To change back, Nellie must embrace her new identity and travel into the Undergrove, a hidden realm teeming with goblins deep beneath the school.
With no textbooks to guide her, Nellie must master the Goblin Ways to navigate this perilous, unfamiliar world. Along the way, she'll forge surprising friendships and discover a power deep within herself that may be the key to restoring balance to the Undergrove.
For this shy overachiever, it's all about stepping way out of her comfort zone—she might even have to dance!

My Why:
I'm drawn to stories about travelling to new places, learning their quirks and customs, and eventually calling those places home. Even a new school or job can feel like a whole other world when you first walk through the door! I want to try and capture that feeling, while also drawing plenty of goblins, monsters and magic!
