Once a fellow frog enthusiast, Holly now aligns with Jillian Zarr, leaving Bobby to navigate a world where girls seem to hold all the cards. With secrets at stake and friendships on the line, Bobby must confront the ultimate challenge: can he win the biggest battle at Rancho Rosetta without losing himself? As boys clash with girls, Bobby learns that growing up might be the toughest adventure yet.
