We know you can’t wait to meet the next Goop, so say hello to Bossylina! She’s an adorable Goop who finds delight in just about everything. The other Goops like spending time with her except when she begins to boss them around, as she can get quite mean about it.      

One day, Bossylina and her friend Bragger set out to visit a huge tree in Goop World, hoping to find an entrance into its trunk. At the tree, Bossylina begins to boss Bragger around and falls right through the ground and into a small crater in Java, Indonesia! She tries to scale the crater walls, but they’re too tall, and she gets very tired. Then, she meets a black macaque, who offers to help her scale the wall, but when she begins stabbing at the crater wall once again, she angers the crater, which begins to emit dangerous smoke that can quickly swallow Bossylina and her new friend. 

If Bossylina can’t figure out how to use her bossiness to help the crater, the smoke will trap her forever. She’ll need to stop bossing her new friend around and focus her energy on the crater beneath her. The crater wants to impress nearby Mount Bromo, but how can it possibly do that?

Bossylina’s adventure in Indonesia will teach kids that being bossy doesn’t have to mean being mean. Bossylina will need to learn to give instructions without making others feel bad about themselves. Will she be able to do it in time to escape the smoke? Join her in Java, Indonesia to find out!

As they wonder at the smoking crater, kids will improve their vocabulary, develop an appreciation for stories and reading, and work on comprehending what they hear. They’ll want to come back to Goop World again and again after spending time with Bossylina!
