The Goblin Twins: Too Hard to Scare is about two creatures from Korean mythology who move to New York and attempt to play tricks on people. However, they didn’t anticipate how impervious New Yorkers would be to their scare attempts. It turns out the adjustment to New York was harder than they thought it would be. In order to cheer themselves up they try and try to scare those around them. Ultimately while they’re unsuccessful in their attempts to strike fear into the hearts of those around them, they do become closer and learn to lean on each other as they learn to adapt in their new home. I would recommend this for patrons who are K-3 and libraries where the first book (The Goblin Twins) is popular, Halloween/scare books are popular, or you have a lot of people who move to your town. Three stars.
