When Troll-Son runs away from home, he decides to leave the Shadow Forest behind and move in with his idol, Samuel Blink.

After all, he's running from something . . . what danger still lurks there?

This engaging adventure showcases Matt Haig's wry sense of humor, drawing readers deeper into the imaginative world introduced in Samuel Blink and the Forbidden Forest.
