Waterstones Says

It's a rainforest race against time to rescue a frog with the secret to eternal youth from the clutches of an avaricious beauty mogul in this gripping adventure from the author of Kick.

Hidden in the heart of the rainforest lies a secret... can three friends survive long enough to find it? An action-packed jungle adventure, perfect for fans of Katherine Rundell's The Explorer and M.G. Leonard's Twitch.

Billionaire beauty mogul Anura Hegarty has pledged to acquire as much of the rainforest as possible to preserve it. But when armed guards appear and bring in portable terrariums to capture wildlife, Jessica and her friend Renata realise something much more sinister is going on.

The rainforest holds a frog with a secret to staying young forever, and Jessica and Renata know they must find and save it first! Together with Briony-Rose, the girls journey deeper into the rainforest.

Danger and betrayal lurk in every corner, and soon they're running for their lives, dodging blow darts and falling into traps. Will the children make it out of the forest alive?

MEDIA REVIEWS

An unputdownable adventure with heroes just as fierce as their adversaries. An original and dynamic story flooded with Mitch Johnson's signature wit and passion for the natural world. I absolutely loved it. - Tamsin Winter, author of Jemima Small Versus the Universe

I raced through Toxic and thoroughly enjoyed the wonderful cast of characters, rainforest jeopardy and especially the tiny frog with a BIG secret. - Ele Fountain, author of Boy 87 and Fake
