developing the world of the Nethergrim--its story, present and
past; its landscapes; its language. He was originally inspired as a
boy exploring the forest surrounding his home, located just outside
of Toronto, Canada, and has been intent on telling the tale ever
since.
Matthew, who holds a Ph. D. in anthropology from Stanford
University, now lectures at Santa Clara University and lives with

Praise for THE SKELETH

Thrones." —Kirkus Reviews

Riordan’s Percy Jackson or Brandon
Mull’s Fablehaven series." —VOYA

series of epic proportions. . . [T]he kind of series that hooks
both new and veteran readers." —Booklist

anticipating the next volume. Fans of the first title will enjoy
this new adventure; purchase this growing series where middle
school YA readers are ravenous for epic fantasy." —School
Library Journal
Praise for THE NETHERGRIM
"Riveting. Perfect for imaginative middle-grade readers craving a
hearty magical adventure." —Booklist

novel." —BCCB
"An engrossing read. . . . Jobin combines elements of suspense and
mystery with a pervasive sense of impending doom." —School Library
Journal
"[T]his entertaining coming-of-age fantasy . . . is a solid debut
for anthropologist Jobin, who steers clear of genre cliches while
offering up a refreshingly metaphysical take on magic, a believably
dark setting filled with unusual threats, and a seductive and
manipulative villain." —Publishers Weekly
