The Goffins: Fun and Games
Author(s): Jeanne Willis
George has fun and games in a second adventure with the loveable Goffins, hidden in the attic with whole lot of family junk!
George is stuck at his grandma's house over the summer holiday. But he has not been bored or lonely since he was befriended by the Goffins - the strange people who live secretly in his grandma's attic. Together, George, Lofty and Eave have been up to all kinds of fun and games in their secret attic home. While George is more used to entertaining himself with his MP3 player and Robodog, he is surprised by how much fun the Goffins' strangely-named games are. And little does George realize, but spillikins, marbles and the strange twigaloo will bring him closer to his mum, dad and Grandma, too.
