Elle’s Excuses to get out of Gym: -Note from her doctor explaining that she is deathly allergic to gym mats. -Note from her psychiatrist saying she has an unhealthy attraction to balls. -Note from home saying that they belong to a religious cult that doesn’t believe in physical exercise. -Use a red marker to cover herself in red spots and start a rumor about having contracted “the pox” after refusing to be vaccinated. -Note from her emotional support frog saying she has to go help stop a depraved, murderous alien killing spree.   (You know, the usual.) This is a story about a girl and her frog, as they discover Elle's hidden talent, navigate a new school, an aging grandfather, disgruntled janitors, telepathic frogs, homicidal aliens and a new world where science is more magical than magic.
