Green Teeth follows Jenny Greenteeth, river creature from English lore and her unlikely friendship with a human witch and a goblin. The three set out on an adventure to save the witch's village from an ancient evil-- facing mystical obstacles along the way. I loved the humor in the storytelling, and I'm legitimately sad to part with these characters. O'Neill does an amazing job balancing light-hearted wit with real stakes and tension. This is a new favorite for me!
