Amazon Review
Uncle Bart, said Limpy, Why do humans hate us?
Uncle Bart looked down at Limpy, and smiled fondly.
Stack me, Limpy, he chuckled, you are an idiot.
Limpy, a slighty squashed cane toad, is struggling to get to grips with the idea that humans really hate him and his kind, and refuses to bow down to the
popular cane toad thats life philosophy that has led to the severe flattening of far too many of his uncles. So, he decides to take things into
his own hands and embarks on a journey across Australia in the hope that he can change the minds of the whole human race.
Morris Gleitzmans Toad Rage is a superbly wry, dry and outrageously funny take on the coming-of-age journey. As Limpy does battle with the dusty outback
tracks and the danger-ridden streets of the Big City the reader is swept along with his quest for absolute understanding, living and breathing every moment of
the always insightful and occasionally terrifying journey into the unknown.
Limpy, with his squished limbs and fine collection of very flat uncles, is a sweet and determined youngster whose inquisitive nature and total belief is
typically indicative of a Gleitzman hero. Indeed, Gleitzman pulls off this funny, sensitive and totally absorbing story with the heart-warming (and
occasionally heart-rending) aplomb that will be familiar to any reader who has read Two Weeks with The Queenor his stunning Rowena Batts trilogy. And as
usual, he doesnt offer any nice, neat answers but instead allows his characters, and the reader, to come to their own conclusions about whether or
not the battle is worth the effort.
Gleitzman is simply a superb author who deserves to be read and enjoyed, and with Toad Rage he pulls off another quirky winner that children will love, and
adults will surely be tempted by.Age 9 and over.
