The
Adventures of Bug & Frogger
These
endearing juvenile novels make excellent readalouds in class and the
family room couch. The chapters are short and the comic action
keeps young readers wanting more. The books are set in a fictional
small village where everyone knows everyone else's business — a fact
that can make life harder for its pre-teen residents. Acclaimed
childrens' novelist Sarah Ellis said "they were a very comfortable
place to be."

The
village of Tichburg boasts 27 volunteer firefighters, 4 fire trucks, 3
small stores, a population of 473 offbeat residents - and an
11-year-old auxiliary assistant to the fire chief named Frogger, who
cheerfully wanders around town trying to be helpful to everyone. But,
as Frogger is about to learn, life in Tichburg is not as easy as it
should be for a kid who just wants to keep everybody happy.
Frogger's
problems all add up to a hilarious series of misadventures that
introduce young readers to the trials and tribulations of everyday life
in the rural backwater of Tichburg - where nothing is ever as simple as
it seems.

Twelve-year
old Bug is penniless and on the move again. Thanks to her dad's
obsessive entrepreneurial streak, she finds herself fleeing the city
under cover of darkness in search of a new hometown. Her arrival in
rural Tichburg is especially noteworthy because her father has staked
their future on a decrepit dump truck fill with unmatched running shoes
that he plans to sell at Tichurg's Harvest Fair.
Luckily one of their first customers is Frogger.
