"Jem needs to buy food for his dog, Gold Nugget. But try as he may, his panning just never leads to gold. When he asks for a job, Mr. Sims, the café owner, sends him out to catch bullfrogs for the menu. Money and frog catching--what a great solution for this active boy! But Nugget and Jems little sister, Ellie, get in the way and ruin his plans. When he argues with Ellie, she stomps off in a huff, and Jem can get back to work. He heads home with a bucket full of frogs and the knowledge that hell have plenty of cash for Nuggets food. Theres just one big problem--no one knows where Ellie has gone.

Shes disappeared! Search parties go out, but no matter where they look, theres no sign of her. And Jem knows that its all his fault for yelling at her. Can he find Ellie before its too late?"--Amazon.com.
