(4) 4-6 Having just moved from Arizona to Massachusetts, Ben unexpectedly makes friends with his teacher, a fellow nature lover. Soon Ben finds himself defending Mrs. Tibbets's land, and the rare toads that live there, from developers. Exploring topics such as environmentalism, friendship, and personal responsibility, the story is overblown but effective in getting across its message.
