Just when Cat can’t take it anymore Great-Aunt Abyssinia comes to the rescue. And things go from bad to worse. The next morning Cat opens her mouth and a toad hops out! What’s more when Olivia speaks diamonds and flowers appear. How unfair is that? Before you can say "happily ever after " the girls are on the run from jewel thieves and a government agency. Can Cat save the day—and get rid of all those toads? This is an enchanting fractured fairy tale from acclaimed Mother-Daughter Book Club author Heather Vogel Frederick.
