Kill the farm boy
by Delilah S Dawson
While on a mission to stop LOCHER and figure out the conundrum of The Chosen One, Gustave the Talking Goat, Fia the Unusually Tall, Argabella the Ensorcelled Bird and Grinda the Sand Witch are joined by two others who have their own evil agendas.
Patron comments: I don't read fantasy or Young Adult books, but this one is very good because of the humor. It is a cross between the Brothers Grimm stories with modern humor and sarcasm.
