'Glubbslyme. You're magic!'
When Rebecca wades into the witch's pond after a row with her best
friend Sarah, she meets a very unusual new friend - a huge, warty
toad! And Glubbslyme is no ordinary toad. Hundreds of years old, he
can talk and - best of all - he can work magic. Maybe, just maybe, he
can help Rebecca be best friends with Sarah again . . .
