“Did you know every frog species has its own call? It helps them find each other in the wild. Mostly they sing love songs to find friends or partners. Sometimes they use their voice as a warning...”

Ella and the Call of the Wild tells the story of Ella’s class getting pen pals. They will be writing to kids at a rainforest school on the other side of the country. Everyone is excited except for Ella, who finds herself lost for words. What do you say to someone you have never met?

But Ella soon discovers she and her pen pal are connected by more than just letters. A creature they both care about needs their help!
