''Borgel'' is a children's novel written by Daniel Pinkwater. This book was published in 1990. It was reprinted in 1993 in the UK, under the title ''The Time Tourists''.
==Plot summary==
The story is narrated as the recollections of protagonist 'Melvin Spellbound', to whose family the agéd eccentric 'Borgel' attaches himself, claiming to be related to the family, by connections unknown even to himself. The inciting action occurs when Borgel, Melvin, and the dog 'Fafner' leave the family's residence in a car belonging to Borgel, whereafter the travel along the highway becomes time travel through multiple alternate realities.
Travelling along the Interstate Highway connecting the various realities, Borgel is separated from the others by a mischievous teleportation (called a 'bilbok'), and Melvin and Fafner stranded at a roadside root beer stand. Having waited for him, Melvin and Fafner take control of his car, and recover Borgel ''en route''. Thereafter the three rest at a public campsite, where they acquire a new companion in 'Pak Nfbnm
*', alias 'Freddie': a self-professed expert on popsicles, in search of an immortal 'Great Popsicle' whose existence maintains the integrity of the Universe. Pursuing that search, they receive directions from a computer made in the image of the Popsicle, to the anthropomorphic gorilla 'Glugo', who conveys them to an island on the River Styx. There, and elsewhere, Freddie is identified as a 'Grivnizoid': a shape-changing, cephalopod-like predator, desirous of achieving insurmountable power. Upon encountering the Popsicle, Borgel and Melvin are inspired by serenity; but Freddie, instead, consumes the Popsicle, and assumes its identity and rôle as a result. Thereafter the others return home.
