Have you ever seen a talking toad? It is called a tongue toad. The tongue toads in this story are Bufo and Esmeralda. The characters are Jennifer, Bufo, and the witch. Jennifer is a fifth grader that wants to be beautiful, but her pudgy cheeks, small eyes, and a clump of a nose makes every one think she is not beautiful. Bufo is very talkative about everything, but he tries to keep his talkativeness to himself. Bufo got separated from Esmeralda. Will he ever find her? The only thing the witch wants is the Jewel of Perfect Happiness in Bufo’s head. The place where the story took place was in Smokey Hollow, where they live, but suddenly came up to a street that they had never seen before. The three conflicts in the story were when Jennifer wore Skippy’s underwear and was called underwear woman. The other conflict was that the witch tried to get the Jewel of Perfect Happiness out of Bufo’s head. The part I liked the most was when Sharra accidentally ate a fly when she was a toad. I liked it because it was cool and really funny because of her reaction. But will Sharra ever turn back into a human? Read this book to find out.
