Discover the twists and turns of his unforgettable adventure.

From the publisher

Samuel Moss is a twelfth-generation scout. He is determined to become part of his family’s Album of Scouting Greatness, but there is only one way to do it: he has to earn the elusive Moon Frog Badge. To do so, he has to find the moon frog-a rare amphibian that hibernates for 30 years and only appears at the 12th hour of the 12th night of the 12th month! So Samuel sets off on a funny and action-packed adventure to track down the moon frog. Along the way, he will have to accomplish such feats as hiking in the Screaming Forest; driving out of the city making only right turns; crawling through Booger Cave, and running down Avalanche Hill. Will he be up to the challenge?
