About this title: In the very small town of Frip--it contains only three houses--tiny creatures called gappers feed on the inhabitants' goats. A crisis erupts when the gappers all lay siege to the goats of one particular house. This illustrated novel by the author of PASTORALIA and CIVILWARLAND IN DEEP DECLINE is part fable for adults, part sophisticated children's book.

"If you like Max Lucado's picture books, you will love the Gappers. A moral tale of industry, integrity, self-reliance and charity. The illustrations are delightful as well.
Hard to find these days as it is out of print, but a worthy find."
"A very awesome story about community and self-sufficiency and shrieking fencelines by one of the most gifted American writers working today. And it was autographed "To the Richland Library - GS, 2008""
