The Secret Of The Stone Frog Summary

The Secret Of The Stone Frog by David Nytra

When Leah and Alan wake up in an enchanted forest, they have no idea where they are or how to get home. Alone in a strange place, the two children have only each other and their wits to guide them. As they drift through the forest, seeking the way home, they find themselves in a world of pet bees and giant rabbits. They meet dandy lions and stone frogs who guide them along the way. They also learn to confront danger and find their independence as they experience the one thing all kids must do for themselves: growing up.

The Secret Of The Stone Frog Reviews

The intricate flowerings and soulfully etched forest backgrounds of the art make the black-and-white pages sing as though they were drawn in a rainbow of colors...To stick the landing, Nytra's serene ending manages to be worthy of its glorious beginning. His cavalcade of dreamscapes is a rich and beguiling experience that deserves multiple immersions.
--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Winsor McKay was a comics pioneer whose early experimentation with the form nearly predated the form itself. McKay's spirit, along with his dream-inspired imagery, lives on through Nytra, whose remarkable debut taps into the same unearthly environment with a similarly enchanting effect. . . .The extraordinarily delicate and fine-lined art incorporates touches of manga aesthetic so that, like the story itself, it merges timeless narrative elements to craft something wonderfully innovative. TOON took a chance on a brand-new talent to create the first of their ever-so-slightly more mature graphic novel line and it's paid off with a smashing success.

About David Nytra

David Nytra has been drawing since he was old enough to hold a pencil. The Secret of the Stone Frog is his first children's book. Though his own dreams are often unexciting and he's only a little bit allergic to bees, he loved books with many creatures in them as a child and he hopes he has put enough beasties in here to satisfy even the most demanding reader.
