Goggas

By Gill Katz

A Royal Butterfly. A Bushveld Ant. An Unforgettable Adventure.

When Lady Caroline, a royal butterfly from Buckingham Palace, is accidentally whisked away to South Africa in a hatbox, she finds herself lost, scared, and far from home. Luckily, she meets Antic, a plucky South African picnic ant with a passion for food and friendship. Together, they embark on a thrilling journey through the bushveld, encountering hilarious goggas (insects), dodging danger from a hungry chameleon, and seeking help from a flamboyant hive of bees.

Originally conceived as a musical, GOGGAS is a vibrant, laugh-out-loud tale bursting with rhythm, heart, and South African flavor. Full of quirky characters, catchy songs, and unexpected twists, this novel celebrates friendship, bravery, and the wonders of the miniature world beneath our feet.

Perfect for readers aged 7-12 who love humorous adventures, animal stories, and cultural tales with a unique voice. It's The Lion King meets A Bug's Life, South African style
