Goblin Quest by Jim C. Hines is the tale of a young goblin named Jig. Being the runt of the tribe is never easy, and especially so when you're a goblin. All Jig wants is to do his bit for the tribe, not be bullied too much by the warriors, and of course not get slaughtered by the rampaging hordes of adventurers. Today is not his day.
