    About this ebook

    The fourth action-packed quest in an exciting six book character-led series for 7+ girls who love fantasy, adventure, and high-kicking heroines!

    Very few people ever enter the Shadow Woods, for these woods are like no others. Hidden deep within them is the Gateway to the Shadow Realm – a dark and chaotic world where all kinds of gruesome creatures live…

    On her tenth birthday, tomboy Sophie learns she is the Guardian of the magical gateway, and that her destiny is to protect the human world from the goblins, trolls and evil sprites that inhabit the Shadow Woods.

    Each book sees Sophie having to outwit weird and terrifying creatures from the Shadow Woods, and in this fourth action-packed adventure, we meet the stinky Fog Boggarts!

      The Fog Boggarts - Linda Chapman

      Chapter 1

      King Ug

      Ug, the King of the Ink Cap Goblins, sat on his tree-stump throne and held up a cracked looking glass. His reflection gazed back at him: small beetle-black eyes, a dome-shaped head that looked like a toadstool and a white crumbling body covered with black blotches.

      Ug smirked. Oh, yes! he crooned, tweaking a flake of skin off his chin. "I really am the most handsome creature in the whole of the Shadow Woods. And the bravest. When I open the gateway, all the other shadow creatures shall be proud to call me king. All I need is one little shadow gem."

      Image Missing

      He touched the iron key that hung around his neck on a rope and frowned. There had once been six hidden shadow gems but the new Guardian – a mere girl – had already found three of them. He had to find one of the others!

      Jumping off his throne, King Ug strode to the edge of the clearing. Where are those useless servants of mine? he muttered. Have they done what I asked? He opened his mouth to yell, but just then three other Ink Cap Goblins came running up. One had a knobbly nose like a potato, one had massive feet and one had particularly crumbly skin. Skidding to a stop in front of Ug, they all started to bow.

      We’re back, oh Great King Ug, panted Potato Nose, bobbing up and down.

      We’re here! exclaimed Flaky Face.

      We’ve returned! said Big Feet.

      Ug rolled his eyes. I’m not blind. I can see that! So? Did you find the Fog Boggarts’s caves? Will they help us?

      The goblins in front of him exchanged nervous looks.

      We did find the caves… Flaky Face began cautiously.

      "And we did speak to the Fog Boggarts," put in Potato Nose.

      But they… um… they… Big Feet looked anxious.

      Ug frowned. "They what?"

      The words came out of Big Feet in a rush.

      They said they wouldn’t speak to servants and that they wanted to talk to you themselves! They’re coming here right now.

      Ug’s white face went even paler. "What? The most dangerous shadow creatures in the woods – creatures who can open their mouths so wide they can swallow a person in one gulp – are coming here? To talk to me? Right now?"

      Big Feet nodded.

      Ah – right, said King Ug finally. He chewed his finger nervously, his black, beady eyes darting to the trees around them. Well, that’s fine. Yes, indeed, looking forward to seeing them. Though maybe I’ll just – take a little stroll first… He edged towards the trees, but it was too late. Thick grey fog was already creeping in on all sides, blocking his way.

      Erp, squeaked Ug. The other goblins gulped as the fog surrounded them. Before their eyes, a shiver ran through the white mist. Suddenly ten tall, thin creatures were standing there. Their skin was grey and their eyes were like large, dark holes in their long faces. Their mouths stretched almost from one ear to the other. Ug stood up straight and managed a sickly smile of greeting.

      One of the creatures stepped forwards, wearing a raggedy dress. Her voice was a sinister whisper. King Ug, I am Spindle Fingers, Queen of the Fog Boggarts.

      Ug inclined his head. Greetings, Your Most Majestical Majesty.

      Spindle Fingers bowed back, and then her eyes narrowed. Your servants came to find us, King Ug. They told us you wanted our help with the little matter of finding a shadow gem. Is this true?

      Ug attempted a confident chuckle. It sounded more like a nervous cough. Oh, that. Well, only if it’s quite convenient. I mean… He shuddered, catching sight of the queen’s gaping mouth. Yes, Your Majesty.

      Her dark gaze bored into him. "May I see the key?"

      Trying to hide his shaking fingers, Ug took the key from around his neck and held it out. A whisper ran
