Gobbledy

From the Award Winning Novelist Lis Anna-Langston
comes a new fun-filled holiday story
that adds up to two brothers,
three friends,
unlimited jars of peanut butter,
a ketchup factory,
& one little alien far, far from home.


"Hugely entertaining as well as emotionally moving."

―Kirkus Reviews


"Gobbledy is a novel for the ages. If I were you, I'd gather the family and read it together."

―My Bookish Bliss


"A delightfully entertaining novel by an author with a genuine flair for originality and the kind of narrative storytelling style that will fully engage the imaginative attention of appreciative young readers ages 8-11, Gobbledy by Lis Anna-Langston . . . will prove to be an immediate and enduringly popular addition to elementary school, midle school, and community library collections."

―Midwest Book Review


"In Gobbledy, Lis Anna-Langston offers her readers a sparkling novel of discovery, adventure, and the abiding consolation of friendship . . . Eleven-year-old protagonist Dexter's progress from bumbling troublemaker to triumphant (but still bumbling) hero is sweet, utterly convincing, and thoroughly engaging. This novel's generous heart won me over from the get-go."

―John Gregory Brown, acclaimed author of A Thousand Miles from Nowhere


"In my opinion, Gobbledy is not only a story for grade school readers but also a story for the whole family. I think this is an excellent story to read aloud to children as well, especially during the Holidays. I felt the structure of the story, the remarkably interesting characters, and the warm-hearted events created by this brilliant author were exceptional. I thought this clever author developed the magical Gobbledy character and the other characters very well, showing a plethora of emotions, and I believe that overall, the story teaches a young reader good values, trust, and strong character traits."
