'Toad Rage' written by Morris Gleitzman is an epic story of a slightly squashed young cane toad's quest for the truth. Toad Rage is a story about a young cane toad who is on a journey to find out why humans hate cane toads so much. It is easier for Limpy to relate the questions back to humans, being a cane toad afterall.
"I had spotted the sings. The cross looks. The unkind comments. The way they squash cane toads with their cars..." -Limpy
'Toad Rage' is set in a thick swamp in Australia. It is full of bull ants and mosquitos. Limpy decides to go to South Australia and tell the humans just how adorable and nice cane toads really are.
