The heroic tale of one slightly squashed cane toad's travels across oceans and continents. And some really busy roads.
Limpy is fed up with seeing his relatives run over and when he hears of a place in the Amazon, where human and toad live together in harmony, he resolves to find this place for himself and to take his cousin Goliath with him. But the jungle is not the Utopia that Limpy had imagined and it takes the advice of some Amazonian cane toads and one wise man to finally find the secret of a harmonious life with humans.
Filled with humour and heart, Toad Away is a story about friendship, determination, and the power of one small voice to make a big difference.
