Frog Face and the Three Boys pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2025

The three boys sat in silence for several more minutes, then the short, round figure and bulging eyes of Mr. Duncan, the principal, blew in through the door. To many people in the school system, Mr. Duncan looked like a frog, and today, he looked like a frog on a mission. An exciting mission. Charlie, Jeffrey and Sidney are all in the seventh grade and all are spending too much time in the principal's office. Charlie talks nonstop, Jeffrey is too frightened to talk at all and Sidney would much rather let his fists hold up his end of the conversation. One day all three end up before Mr. Duncan, or Frog Face, as they call him behind his back. Finally realizing that detention is not solving the continued problems, Mr. Duncan decides that what these troublemakers need is some discipline and order, and consigns them to a series of lessons in karate run by his son Willie. What begins as a penance slowly becomes bearable and then a pleasure for the three boys, as they all begin to learn something about themselves and how to get along with others. In his first novel for younger readers, best-selling teen novelist Don Trembath is at the top of his comic form with this look at some of the misfits in a small town school. The first entry in the Black Belt series for readers aged eight to twelve, Frog Face and the Three Boys, shows another side to Don Trembath. His previous books have all gone on to become bestsellers and have been very well reviewed. His first Harper Winslow novel, The Tuesday Cafe, was a nominee for the Pacific Northwest Library Assocation Young Readers Choice award, ALA Best Books and Quick Picks lists and was a Children's Literature Choice book for 1998. Frog Face and the Three Boys is the first of four books in The Black Belt Series. Book two is One Missing Finger. Book three is The Bachelors. Book four is The Big Show.
