Our wonderful energetic main character, the Croaking Machine, is a toad with a very loud croaking problem. This story is about a little toad who croaks very, very loudly when he gets excited about something. This doesn't always go over too well with his friends and classmates, especially when his loud croaking gets the class into trouble. But through all his troubles, his best friend Stella is always there for him. This is a story about being different than everyone else - and excepting the differences in others. It shows us that sometimes our unique traits and qualities can save the day and make us true heroes in the end.
