Bruce Coville’s Magic Shop series is a fantasy collection of eleven books. The earliest entries date back to the early 1990s with Jeremy Thatcher, Dragon Hatcher (1991), Goblins in the Castle (1992), and Jennifer Murdley’s Toad (1992). The series kept growing over the next two decades, adding The Skull of Truth in 1997, Juliet Dove, Queen of Love and Charlie Eggleston’s Talking Skull in 2003, and later titles like The Vampire’s Tooth (2010) and The Mask of Eamonn Tiyado (2011).
The books feature characters who encounter strange and magical items, as the individual titles suggest. Goblins on the Prowl, published in 2015, is the most recent entry. With books spread across nearly 25 years, this is a long-running series that has been around for multiple generations of readers. Starting from the beginning and reading in order is the best approach.
