But who could it be? What prisoner could be so frightening? Billy is about to find out . . .

WHO STOLE THE FROGS? When something's amiss in the Spook household, there's usually only one suspect - Araminta.

These aren't just any old frogs. Araminta must deal with crazy Old Morris, a dangerous shark, and a demanding - if somewhat unexpected - audience if she's going to find the frogs and perhaps even steal the show, too.
