When the pond community is threatened by a fox, Frank, the odd one out in a family of ducks, ventures into the dangerous forest alone on a quest to save his home, discovering both his courage and unique identity along the way.

Between his giant feet and hatching three days late, Frank stands out from his siblings Darryl and Darlene. Despite his attempts to perfect the all-important duck bite and to flap his flight-featherless wings, Frank's otherness is obvious and he is mocked by his fellow ducks. Determined to prove his ducklingness, Frank embarks on an adventure when his family's pond is threatened by a frightening fox. Danger -- and discoveries -- lurk at every turn as Frank grows into his feet and meets new and unlikely friends on this hero's quest into an unknown forest.

Animal fiction, Juvenile.

Meyer, Jennifer L.
