First published in 2006.The Goblin King has kept a watchful eye on Toby: his minions secretly guiding and protecting the child . . .Legions of goblins work behind the scenes to ensure that Toby has whatever his heart desires . . .Preparing him for the day when he will return to the Labyrinth and take his rightful place beside Jareth as the heir to the Goblin Kingdom . . .That day has come . . .. . . but no one has told Toby. (book back blurb)The only reason I had to read this book was because it's the sanctioned sequel to the movie Labyrinth (dear god, may Hollywood be smart enough to NEVER touch that one). Yeah, it's manga. Not my favorite thing. Angular people freak me out. But it's Labyrinth so try it I must. Please keep in mind this is only the second manga I've read. The first being James Patterson's Maximum Ride which I wasn't fond of at all.But this one? This one I liked. A lot. The drawings weren't so crazy angular, there wasn't any of that weird movement-as-words
