Description
—Winner of the 2016 New Wrinkle Publishing Writers Contest—
Ten-year-old Gregory is about to find out that the enormous mole stuck straight beneath his nose is not just a mole, but is actually a humpy crumpy portal of skin that hides a creature called the Grimbockle.
What’s more? The Grimbockle is just one of the many strange little creatures called Bockles tending to the mysterious threads that connect all humans from one to the other. It is a very important job and one that has long been carried out with incredible secrecy...
...that is, before tonight.

I thought this book was absolutely adorable! It was well written and the way the characters (the bockles) were written just made me love them all the more. The way the author "disguised" what the moral of the story was very ingenious in my opinion. It's a hard thing to do well but I think that the author achieved a good balance, especially for the target age range. I will be recommending this book for my nieces and nephews as it's also just a very cute read overall.
