Book Hero Magic crafted this summary to help describe this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Summary
Set in the faraway and terrible-smelling land of Rancidia, where smelling bad is celebrated and smelling good is frowned upon, Hobgoblin and the Seven Stinkers of Rancidia follows a profoundly stinky hobgoblin on the run. He escapes the wrath of the monstrous, democracy-hating ogre tyrant Fiddlefart and teams up with the Seven Stinkers—an outcast group of foul-smelling creatures including Grody the bog monster, Yucky the skunk ape, Icky the sloth, Musty the mummy, Fusty the moldy pirate skeleton, Poot the sentient dung ball, and Toot the dung beetle—as well as barking spiders and the enigmatic Huntress squirrel.

Age range 9 to 12

Set in the faraway (and terrible-smelling) land of Rancidia, where it's good to smell bad and bad to smell good, this uproarious send-up of Snow White follows the adventures of a profoundly stinky Hobgoblin as he flees the jealous wrath of a monstrous, democracy-hating ogre tyrant named Fiddlefart.

Along the way, he joins forces with the Seven Stinkers - an outcast band of foul-smelling creatures: Grody the bog monster, Yucky the skunk ape, Icky the sloth, Musty the mummy, Fusty the mouldy pirate skeleton, Poot the sentient dung ball, and Toot, the dung beetle. They are accompanied by the adorable barking spiders and a mysterious squirrel known only as The Huntress.
