* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: All the troll's names work this way. Any troll that is known for any particular thing is named after that.

''Samuel Blink and the Forbidden Forest'' (also known as ''Shadow Forest'') is a novel written by British novelist Matt Haig.

The book is about [[CharacterTitle Samuel]], [[TheEveryman regular]], [[KidHero 12-year-old]] boy and his sister who goes to live with his eccentric aunt after his parents in a car crash.

[[TemptingFate How quaint]].

His aunt insists that he stays away from a forest next to their house. [[ForbiddenFruit Naturally, that just makes him want to go into it more]]. Later, he finds a book in the attic, called ''The Creatures of Shadow Forest'', written by Prof. Horatio Tanglewood, describing supernatural, incredibly dangerous creatures within said forest.

The question is, [[ReluctantMonster are they really that dangerous]]?
