The epic story of one slightly squashed cane toad's hunt for the truth. And the fun and games that result. Limpy's family reckons humans don't hate cane toads, but Limpy knows otherwise. He's spotted the signs: the cross looks, the unkind comments, the way they squash cane toads with their cars. Desperate to save his species from ending up as pancakes, Limpy must somehow make humans see how fabulous cane toads really are.

Risking everything, he sets off on a wart-tinglingly dangerous and daring journey to ... the Olympics? Filled with humour and heart, Toad Rage is a story about acceptance, determination and perseverance in the face of adversity. Read the whole Toad series today!

Morris Gleitzman

Morris Gleitzman grew up in England and came to Australia when he was sixteen.

After university he worked for ten years as a screenwriter. Then he had a wonderful experience.

He wrote a novel for young people. Now, after 36 books, he's one of Australia's most popular children's authors.

In February 2018 Morris was chosen as the Australian Children’s Laureate for 2018-19.

I want to be an ambassador for the fears and hopes and dreams and dreads that young people have as they contemplate and navigate today’s world, and also as they think about the possibilities of their future adult worlds,’ Gleitzman said.

‘Much of my time will be spent championing stories as a medium for young people to engage creatively with those possibilities. Stories reveal themselves in our imaginations, our intellects and our emotions—all places where we work on our own destinies.’
