Chandler had everything that money could buy. She had everything except love. Orphaned at age 9, Chandler lived with her cousin, Horace, who was more interested in spending her money than caring for her. Chandler was not looking forward to school vacation week. Horace was off to Switzerland and he had arranged for Chandler to spend the week at a survival camp in the mountains. Chandler had few friends in school. She was far from popular -- especially with the boys. She thought it was a dream when Danny Malone asked her for a kiss. And what a kiss it was! Chandler felt she was melting. When she opened her eyes, the world look so different. All she could see was Danny's foot. He looked like a giant. And she suddenly had a craving for flies. Is it possible that she had turned into a frog? If so, how could she get back to her old self? Read the Frog Princes of Pelham to find out.
