Ella and the Amazing Frog Orchestra
Cassy Polimeni and Hykie Breeze
“Did you know frogs can find their way home? It’s called a ‘homing instinct’ ... no matter where they are, they know where they belong. I think I know how frogs feel.”
Eight-year-old Ella hates her new house. She wants to be back in her old house with her best friend Viv next door ... until one day Ella discovers a secret pond in her neighbours’ backyard with an orchestra of frogs!
At her new school Ella meets Mai and learns about their class frog bog project. But when Ella finds out that the neighbours’ secret pond is under threat Ella and Mai must come up with a plan to save the frogs – before it's too late!
