A Delightful Tale about a Boy, Adventures, and A Frog Named Jumpy

Nov. 2, 2009 - PRLog -- Jack Gray is a boisterous and fun-loving 13-year-old.

Jack loves his neighborhood, his school and his best friends, Ben, Toby, and Jim.  Then, there’s Sara, his girlfriend, who Jack is so smitten with, he gives her a promise ring.  Life couldn’t get any better as far as Jack’s concerned.

But Jack’s parents tell Jack they may be moving soon—to a totally new neighborhood!  Jack doesn’t want to leave.  What if he can’t make new friends?  What if he doesn’t like his new school?  How will he ever be able to see Sara?  

Despite his parents’ reassurance that he’ll still be able to visit his friends (and make new ones), Jack is determined to cram in as much time as possible with his friends and have as many adventures as he possibly can!

What adventures he has!  He saves Toby from a tumble in a hole and they have to race to the hospital to get Toby’s sprain patched up.  Jack buys a tree frog, names him Jumpy, enters him into a frog race and Jumpy wins.  With all kinds of excitement going on, Jack begins to wonder how he’ll be able to take care of his special pet and if he can take him with him to his new home.  
   
Will Jack keep Jumpy, and will he have to move and leave all his friends?
