Praise for A Shirtful of Frogs: 'While this novel is classified for children, I think it has a lot of cross-over appeal ... it reminds me of how The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe started.' - Tawn Anderson, Author of Providence 'This is the type of book that you'll find yourself going back to, reading over and over, far into the night. Really, I can't say enough good things!' - C. S. Einfeld, Author of Neverdark A Shirtful of Frogs is suitable for ages 10+
