The epic story of one slightly squashed cane toad's hunt for the truth. And the fun and games that result.
Limpy's family reckons humans don't hate cane toads, but Limpy knows otherwise. He's spotted the signs: the cross looks, the unkind comments, the way they squash cane toads with their cars.
Desperate to save his species from ending up as pancakes, Limpy must somehow make humans see how fabulous cane toads really are. Risking everything, he sets off on a wart-tinglingly dangerous and daring journey to ... the Olympics?
Filled with humour and heart, Toad Rage is a story about acceptance, determination and perseverance in the face of adversity.
