From the first few sentences I knew this story was unique. The characters are goblins, elves, pixies and ogres, and they go to Gingko High where they learn many subjects including Human Civilizations. Humans are extinct and the species in this book don’t even believe humans were real!

Tara Tyler does an amazing job immersing us into this world and describing the characters. Although so many species are packed together in Broken Branch Falls and Gingko High, segregation is forced. That doesn’t stop Gabe, a goblin, from developing a crush on a new ogress, though, and from his friends creating a prank to get the attention they deserve, but things don’t go according to plan. Matters only get worse, their home is put in danger of being destroyed, and an adventure ensues.

Children and young adults will have fun reading Broken Branch Falls and getting to know all of the different characters. I know I enjoyed it! The illustrations were a treat, too.
