Once Upon a Toad

Once Upon a Toad

A girl gets into a mouthful of trouble in this â€œtoadallyâ€ fractured fairy tale, from the author of the Mother-Daughter Book Club series.

Once upon a time, Cat Starr lived with her astronaut mom in Houston. But when her mother gets sent on a long-term mission, Cat has to move to a faraway landâ€”her dadâ€™s house, halfway across the countryâ€”and share a room with her real-life evil stepsister, Olivia. Just when Cat canâ€™t take it anymore, Great Aunt Abyssinia comes to the rescue. And things go from bad to cursed.

The next morning, Cat opens her mouth and a toad hops out! Whatâ€™s more, when Olivia speaks, diamonds and flowers appear. How unfair is that? Before you can say "happily ever after," the girls are on the run from jewel thieves and a government agency. Can Cat save the dayâ€”and get rid of all those toads?

This is an enchanting fractured fairy tale from acclaimed Mother-Daughter Book Club author Heather Vogel Frederick.
