School Library Journal - 08/23/2024 K-Gr 3—Doki and Kebi are 601-year-old goblins who have moved from Korea to New York City and are having trouble acclimating to their new surroundings. Doki cannot understand the humans in New York, who are different from the humans he used to scare in Korea. No one notices when he carries out his usual nefarious acts, such as messing with traffic, in New York. There's always traffic in New York! Doki's twin, Kebi, takes pity on him and joins Doki to play tricks. Together, they work some magic that makes them both giggle. This book is full of subtle jokes spread throughout the attractive pages, such as a little girl in a pink sweater who is surreptitiously placed on several pages reacting with alarm. Going from graphic novel format to traditionally illustrated pages, the layout and rousing font will encourage readers to stay on each page. Illustrations underpin the humor excellently. VERDICT Readers will want to revisit this diverse and humorous Halloween-themed book for years to come.—Kelly Richards - Copyright 2024 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
