History Literature / GoblinMonday

* DarkerAndEdgier: The book can get graphic at points, such as a rabbit being found with its guts torn out and blood everywhere. Grandpa Tweety eating two birds whole, the collection of bird feet that Tweety keeps in a room in the house, and the ending, [[spoiler: Where Mario is devoured by goblins with no hope of escape as he screams in horror and agony for them to stop.]]

* TooDumbToLive: [[spoiler: Mario allows Mr and Mrs. Simms to take him home in the finale, sitting between Todd and Jewel, in the backseat in order to turn them both in for being goblins. But he foolishly ignores the possibility that Todd and Jewel maybe goblins as well due to their relationship with their parents, something Jewel smugly [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] to him. Right when he realizes this, Todd and Jewel are in a prime position to eliminate him, which happens indeed.]]

* Foreshadowing: While sledding, Todd is accidentally thrown off his sled and ends up cracking his skull on a rock, yet after a minute or two he gets back up like nothing happened, something Mario finds strange. [[spoiler:This is the first hint that Todd and Jewel aren't really human]]

* EvilLaugh: [[spoiler: The Simms Family break out into one as they're eating Mario at the end, Todd starts it off by cheering that this is the best Winter break ever]]

Mario Galagos is going on Winter Break with his best friends and neighbors, Todd and Jewel Simms. Mario is excited because their vacation will be taking place in Vermont, which will have a lot of snow, something he has never seen before. Mario will also be meeting Todd and Jewel's grandparents, Grandpa Tweety and Mom Mom. But the grandparents are a little awkward to say the least, because they constantly speak of elves, trolls, and goblins. One day, when Mario notices some strange things going on around the home, namely a flash of green fur, he decides to investigate, but is he in over his head...?

!!This book provides examples of:

* CruelTwistEnding: [[spoiler: It turns out that Mario was actually a goblin hunter the whole time, he infiltrated the winter break trip to capture the goblins who turn out to be Grandma Tweety and Mom Mom. He defeats them with Nutmeg, then has Mr. and Mrs. Simms drive him home, where he intends to take them into custody because they are goblins too. All's well that end's well..except Mario overlooks one important detail too little too late. If their grandparents and parents are goblins, then Todd and Jewel must be goblins as well which is indeed the case. The siblings promptly transform and tear him to pieces.]]
