Synopsis:
Life at the pond can get pretty boring - even if you're living in the heart of New York. So when Frijibold the Frog hears about the exclusive apartments in trendy Shark Fin Towers, he jumps at the chance to fulfil his secret lifelong dream: living in a skyscraper among those fascinating creatures called humans. But no sooner has Frijibold stepped into his luxurious apartment than he finds himself trapped in an action-packed adventure involving an ambitious property developer, crazy TV hosts, and Mrs. Boggel's spicy fried fly pizza. Humans can be more tricky than they look...The Frog in the Skyscraper is the hilarious tale of one sharp-witted frog's journey to find out where he really belongs - despite a few bumps along the way. It will appeal to children aged 7-9, and fans of Faiz's former books.
