Publisher's Summary

Jeremiah sits on his bicycle and stares down at the small, flattened body of a dead frog. At just six-years-old he suffers a painful realization: In this existence you are either The Squasher, or The Squashed.

Raised as a Jehovah’s Witness, Jeremiah also knows he must be obedient and devout—or risk banishment. But the boy refuses to be another frog under God’s wheel. At first his acts of rebellion are small and inconsequential, but soon his schemes take on a wilder, grander scale and he finds himself being hunted by the police.

Through mad goose chases, natural disaster, homelessness, and maximum-security prison, Jeremiah struggles against the world, always wriggling one step ahead of the giant wheel bearing down on him. But when a shocking accident leaves him half dead and disfigured, the young man has nowhere left to run. Either he breaks free of the hate, hurt, and rage that’s fueled his every action, or becomes another one of life’s hapless victims.

Dead Frogs is a riveting true story about growing up in broken systems, the incredible resilience of the human spirit, and the power of forgiveness and redemption.
