Description: Owen Jester has captured the biggest, greenest, slimiest, most beautiful bullfrog ever to be seen in Carter, Georgia. He has named it Tooley Graham, and he has built a swell cage for it in his bedroom. Owen is very happy. But Tooley is not. In fact, according to Owen's snoopy, know-it-all neighbour, Viola, the frog is downright sad. But this is not Owen's fantastic secret. That arrives the night he hears something fall off a passing train, and when he discovers what it is, he has a genuine, bona fide fantastic secret, which may not be revealed here. Suffice it to say, it launches an adventure involving Owen, his two best friends, and (shudder) Viola. O'Connor's latest—with her signature southern setting—is diverting, though it lacks suspense, and at times the characters seem less strongly realised than in her other works. Nevertheless, the story is smoothly written, the secret is ingenious and believable, and who can resist a frog named Tooley Graham. Grades 4-6. --Michael Cart --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
