Synopsis

Four friends.
A frog.
One fantastic secret.
And a summer they'll never forget.

An amazing secret has tumbled off a freight train into Carter, Georgia, and Owen Jester is the only person who knows about it. If he can simply manage to evade his grandfather’s snappish housekeeper, organize his two best friends, and keep his nosy neighbor, Viola, at bay, he just might be in for a summer of a lifetime.

With her trademark wit and easy charm, Barbara O’Connor spins a fantastic fable of friends, enemies, and a superbly slimy bullfrog.
