Book Overview

by Alex Willan (Author), Alex Willan (Illustrator)

An unsuspecting Gilbert the Goblin finds himself in the crosshairs of cupids and their heart-tipped arrows in the hilarious latest installment in The Worst! picture book series, where even the strangest of creatures can become the best of friends.

Who needs valentines? Not Gilbert the goblin! There's no time for cards and hugs and all that mushy malarky with far more important matters at hand--like, uh...eating tacos. When Gilbert bumps into a squad of cupids bent on showering him with love arrows, he runs for his life!

This is clearly proof that valentines are the worst! Can Gilbert avoid the trappings of the holiday or will love find a way?
