Once upon a Toad

263 pp. | Simon | April, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4169-8478-8 $16.99
(2) 4-6 Twelve-year-old Cat complains to her eccentric great-aunt about her nasty, name-calling stepsister Olivia; the next morning Cat starts spitting out toads, while Olivia produces flowers and diamonds. When kidnappers steal their little brother, demanding "the diamond girl" Olivia in return, it's up to the enchanted stepsisters to get him back. Cat is a dryly witty, grounded protagonist in an action-packed, zany plot with an even wackier cast.
