"Who amongst the most learned men and women in the world understands elf magic, or even knows that it exists?"

Hob doesn't know what will happen when an elf light is thrown into goblin fire, but he must risk it if he's to have any chance of helping his friends. Hob's quest brings him into collision with forces of opposition. It will be a life changing adventure, but he can reach his goal only by staying true to himself.

This is a story of loyalty, courage, and kindness, which also shows the importance of caring for the environment and staying focused even when circumstances are difficult.

For those who are, or ever have been, eight years old.
