Toad Away — Morris Gleitzman

Limpy has a vision. A world where cane toads and humans play mudslides together. And help each other with the shopping. And share their slug sauce and maggot moisturiser.

But how does a young cane toad discover the ancient secret of living in peace with humans? First he has to dodge the killer trucks and supermarket trolleys. Then he has to stop his cousin declaring war on the entire human race.

Oh, and he has to take a trip to the Amazon.

The uplifting tale of one cane toad's heroic journey (with his sister and cousin) across oceans, continents and some really busy roads.
