The story of this book is similar to a certain fairytale: a boy finds a frog who claims to be royalty and demands a kiss to break the spell. This book is a good example of a chapter book for intermediate readers. There are still a few pictures, but the book is a bit long. ( )

This book is about a young boy named Davey. One day when he is at the pond with his friend Becky, he finds a blue-eyed frog. He picks up this frog and it begins to speak. He then finds out that this frog is actually a princess, and that Davey must kiss her in order for her to turn back into a princess. She says she has limited time before the spell takes over and she dies. Davey's parents let him keep the frog, and they continue to figure out how he is going to kiss her and turn her back into a human, and what is going to happen when she turns back into a princess.
