Gob the Gnome

This short story focuses on what the devastation of a terrible storm could do to a forest and surrounding communities. A storm has ravaged large parts of Surbrook Forest National Park, home to Gob and other gnomes, and animals of the forest. Gob the gnome accepts that a few gnomes cannot restore the forest after the storm. Gob's human friends, Nathan and Iris are determined to find Gob friends so they can help restore and protect the forest. Iris and Nathan faced challenges with these tasks that proved to be much more difficult than they had ever thought would be. The children get help from a surprising source.



Since the 1400s, folklore has described gnomes as guardians of treasured forests and the protectors of Earth. Gnomes represent stability, growth, and good luck. This is the sixth book of the six-book series about Gob the gnome. The six books in this series all revolve around Gob the gnome, the protector of a local forest, who becomes friends with Nathan and Iris and helps to educate them on the importance of caring for the environment.
