Gappers are fuzzy orange creatures that wreak havoc on the seaside town
of Frip. They latch onto the goats (whom they love) in the three-family village
and jeopardize the community's goat-milk-based economy. Every day, the
children of Frip brush gappers off their goats to toss them back into the
ocean, and every day the gappers return. When the pesky critters target
only one of the houses and the neighbors unexpectedly refuse to help, 10-
year-old Capable combat the invasion—which she does with her own special
brand of compassion and resourcefulness. After the tables turn on Capable's
neighbors, will she rally to their assistance or revel in their comeuppance?
