Croaky Hopper is a daring amphibian adventurer, an excitable and enthusiastic froggy who leaps before he looks. And he can leap a fair distance, I can tell you!
Always ready for an adventure, everyone needs a Croaky in their life.
And preferably with a Sheena by your side, Croaky's sensible sidekick.
In this second outing, Croaky, Sheena and Winston the Puffin aka their Woggle Scout Leader dive into deep waters as they attempt to follow the footsteps of the famed flamingo adventurer Penny Lightfoot. In Legendary Berry Quest, the motley crew search for a mythical fruit that promises everlasting youth, but soon find their efforts blocked by mischievous lemurs, giant Grow Worms, and perilous river rapids.
A first-class, accessible and action-packed series from Super Happy Magic Forest creator Matty Long, this is a brilliant book for the most reluctant of readers or anyone with a spectacular sense of fun. Bring it on, Croaky! I'm prepared.

Croaky: Quest for the Legendary Berry Synopsis
Froggy, Fearless, and Ready for Adventure! Leap into this new action-packed chapter book series from Super Happy Magic Forest creator Matty Long - perfect for readers who love funny stories!
Croaky Hopper isn't like other little frogs. His head is filled with thoughts of wild adventures. He dreams of hopping across crocodile-infested waters, or being chased by a giant boulder, just like the famous TV explorer Tennessee Toad. But where can an energetic amphibian like Croaky find real-life adventure?
When his Aunt Lilly signs him up for the Woggle Scouts, he expects to spend his time crafting with pinecones and selling cookies, but he soon discovers there's much more in store . . .
In Legendary Berry Quest, the woggle scouts take off in an old biplane to explore Giant Fruit Island. There they search for a mythical fruit that promises everlasting youth, but soon find their efforts blocked by mischievous lemurs, giant Grow Worms, and perilous river rapids.
Full of colourful illustrations and action-packed text – ideal accessible fiction for emerging readers.
