It's one of the coldest days of the year on the Island when little Gorgel Bobba is born in a warm hole under the snow-covered dunes. In the spring he plays outside for the first time with other Gorgeltjes. At night he has to go to school to learn about animals, plants and of course human children! Bobba is one of the fastest Waakgorgels in training and when he receives his diploma after a few years, the Gray Gorgel gives him the photo of the boy he has to watch over. A little boy with curls. His name is Melle… Do Gorgels really exist? According to the readers, yes! Comedian Jochem Myjer receives questions every day and children email him their self-made Gorgels. In this picture book he reveals a little more about their secret life. Rick de Haas draws a warm world that every child would want to live in.
