Nine-year-old Phineas William Walsh has an encyclopedic knowledge of the natural world. What he doesn't understand is why his parents can't live together. He's also worried sick about what humans are doing to the planet. When a White's tree frog ends up in an aquarium in his fourth-grade classroom, he stages an elaborate rescue. Adapted from Carla Gunn's novel Amphibian.
