Jennifer Murdley's Toad: A Magic Shop Book

Now available in a twentieth anniversary edition, this modern classic has been given a new afterword by the author and stunning new jacket art by Tony DiTerlizzi.

Jennifer Murdley would give anything to be beautiful. But then she buys a particularly ugly toad--one who can talk and, in fact, won't shut up--who shows her a thing or two about the meaning of true beauty.
