With a unique and entertaining writing style, a good mix of drama and humor sprinkled throughout, and endearing characters, this book is a winner! Add to this a cliffhanger at almost every chapter and you get a page turner. The chapters are very short and easy to read. It was hard to put it down. I kept reading just one more short chapter, and one more, until I realized I had read the whole book. This story would appeal even to reluctant readers, boys and girls alike.

From the Inside Flap:
s family reckons humans don’t hate cane toads, but Limpy knows otherwise. He’s spotted the signs: the cross looks, the unkind comments, the way they squash cane toads with their cars. Limpy is desperate to save his species from ending up as pancakes. Somehow he must make humans see how fabulous cane toads really are. Risking everything, he sets off on a wart-tinglingly dangerous and daring journey to . . . the Olympics?
This is the epic story of a slightly squashed young cane toad’s quest for the truth.
