Mya McClure, brave science girl, has a passion for nature. One night, as Mya sleeps with her window open, tiny creatures enter her room-toads! They are escaping the forest near her school, which is in the process of being cut down and ruining their habitat. Mya scoops up the toads and takes them to her basement while she thinks about what to do next. The next day at school, Mya asks her teacher, Mrs. Russell, how to create a new habitat for the toads. So instructed, she and Mrs. Russell dig a hole in the forest and free the toads. While foraging for sticks, Mrs. Russell upsets a bee hive and the swarm chases her back to the toads. With a portable fan, Mya redirects the bees to the toads, who eagerly devour the bees. The following day Mrs. Russell shows Mya a letter from her state legislator which says all tree removal in the forest will end, and the toads' habitat will be saved.
