Do you know who the gorgels are?
The gorgels live in secluded holes on the Island. They come out after dark, feed on gorgels berries, and never show themselves to people.
A little gorgell named Bobba, who was born in one of these holes, starts going to school. There he learns about the magical powers of the gorgels and about the nasty little pests that cause children to get colds, flu, and other illnesses, and that wake up after their summer hibernation when the months with the letter "r" in their names come. He also learns about the secret mission of the gorgels: the best of them become gorgels-protectors and go to the mainland, to people, to protect their children from the pests.
Bobba dreams of becoming a gorgels-protector. He studies hard and eventually gets his first assignment - to guard a boy named Mélle...
The book "The World of the Gorgels" is a prequel to the adventure story "The Gorgels", which won the Dutch Children's Jury Prize in 2016 and was recognized as the best children's book of the year in Holland.
