About this listen

As if she didn't have trouble enough after her classmates discovered she had worn her brother's underwear to school (oh, the teasing, the humiliation!), Jennifer Murdley has just stumbled into Mr. Elives' Magic Shop, where she buys a toad named Bufo. Of course the odds of buying a normal toad in that shop are zero, as Jennifer finds out when Bufo starts to talk to her.

As it turns out, talking is the least of the toad's strange talents. Before Jennifer's adventures with him are over, she will have to mend an ancient tragedy, save her little brother from being a toad himself, and (hardest of all) come face-to-face with the fact that in a world obsessed with beauty, she is anything but. At least not on the outside...

Sound effects unique and great part of the story line. Whimsical tale to follow. Light hearted reading for young and old. Easy to picture the characters and their escapades.

Entertaining!

I listened to this as a kid and it stuck with me. After hearing it again I can see why it did.

I loved this as a kid...and an adult!

I read the books in Bruce Coville’s magic shop series when I was in elementary school and I remember loving them. I loved the characters and I loved their adventures.
When I found out there were audiobooks for the series, I used to rent them from the library and listen to them over and over. I really enjoy everyone who performed for the story, and the rest of the stories in the series.
I enjoy these stories just as much as an adult, especially now is the world seems so much more superficial than it did when I was a child.

As a young girl who felt awkward and out of place in her own skin, the story really spoke to me and the message of the story really struck home. It’s what’s on the inside that really counts. It’s being a good person that really counts.

I highly recommend the story for it’s heartfelt message and the excellent performance of those who performed the characters.

Excellent story with an excellent message
