The Island of the Limocks
How do you rouse a bunch of tired monsters? With imagination and a sense of adventure!
If that’s not the chance of a lifetime! Jasper no longer feels wanted at home and after a flight over the sea of boredom, he lands on the island of the Limocks where Sloaches and Dreabors live as well. But what kind of strange monsters and monstrous idlers are these, who don’t know what a child does? Can Jasper crack the mystery of this secret place? With a lot of imagination and wit, and a healthy dose of courage, he manages to arouse this tired bunch and make friends. But then suddenly a second child appears, the whole atmosphere changes and the island is in grave danger. If anything can help, it is the hope that they will all work together ...
By the way: the name Limocks is based on “limp socks“, Sloaches on “slow coaches“ and Dreabors on “dreadful bores“.
