Gargle the Goose combines elements of the mythical with everyday reality to create an entire goose culture. Gargle is a young Canada Goose who, like all of his fellow fledglings, dreams of being an important and respected leader in his geesing community. As a low-ranking member of his family's gaggle, Gargle rashly attempts to hijack his family's formation in their annual Great Migration to the south, with calamitous results. As a result, Gargle must navigate his way through the hostile world of goosy exile. In his wanderings over the course of one winter, Gargle meets an abandoned donkey, named Luckless, who becomes his vagabond traveling companion and fast friend. They become entangled in a number of perilous situations, particularly with a shady farmer and a shifty fox that spell deep trouble for them. Inspired by a prominent figure in geesing mythology, Gargle attempts to redeem himself through a selfless act. Included in the tale is a Goosolalia that explains the major terms and features of goosing society. Readers, both young and old, will delight in the playful use of language and the fully realized culture within the book. You won't be able to put it down, and you'll never look at migrating geese the same again.
