Fantastic Frog and the Amazing Tad Lad




The explosive first book in a new middle-grade graphic novel series featuring two heroic but dim-witted frog superheroes, for fans of InvestiGators and Dog Man!

No one ever said it was easy being green! The contaminated swamp where Dr. Kim conducts experiments is overrun with mutants and evil machines like the Hater Gator and the Robot Trash Dolls. That's why she tinkered with amphibian genes to create superheroes Fantastic Frog and sidekick Tad Lad.

In their first adventure, the frogs leap forth to battle the scaly swamp thing terrorizing Sector 1. Will the Hater Gator's tail flails flatten this duo before they discover the truth behind what's gone rotten in their swamp?

And in their second adventure, the duo stumble upon a landfill of disgusting, off-brand toys in Sector 2 . . . which come alive! Outnumbered and totally grossed out, can our heroes defeat these Robot Trash Dolls?

Praise for Fantastic Frog and the Amazing Tad Lad

PRAISE FOR Cave Dada:

"[Cave Dada is a] comical round of prehistoric parenting." —Booklist

"[Cave Dada is] sweetly satisfying . . . Reese's soft-edged cartoons are masterful, the backgrounds simple so as to keep the focus on the dilemma (and humor) at hand. . . . This is the Neolithic equivalent of 'one more book,' 'I need a drink,' 'gotta go potty,' and it's uproarious." —Kirkus Reviews
