Frogbottom Sound
Between the Beginning and the End is the Riddle
Strange things are afoot in Woop Woop.
The laws of nature aren’t obeying themselves anymore and history keeps throwing up chunks of itself that shouldn’t exist.
When the adopted twelve-year-old Sing discovers a cryptic, century-old message addressed directly to her, she and her cousin Oggi Frogbottom set off to uncover her past.
Drawn inexorably into the web of a historic betrayal, they come to understand that they can trust no one, that it’ll be up to them to discover who betrayed whom and who—if anyone—is telling the truth.
The answers, when they find them, seem unbelievable. Then again, so do electric seeds, talking mushrooms and vicious attack eyeballs that eat by osmosis.
