Theater is outlawed for the humans of Zombay. But when orphan Rownie flees witch Graba's custody, he joins a performance troupe of goblins he hopes can help locate his brother (who disappeared after illegally acting); the goblins hope Rownie can prevent catastrophe from befalling the city. Rownie's journey is obscured by too many fantastical elements, but the setting is imaginative.
