The island of Key West was beautiful, tropical, and filled with a magic all it's own. But not for Archie, the tree frog, or as he was formally titled, Prince Archibald the Third. He did not want to grow up and be a king. He wanted to have fun and explore, and be "normal" like other teen-agers, without being lectured by his tutors, or followed by his bodyguards. So,one night, Archie ran away from home. On a mission to find out his role in life, and to seek adventure, he finds a new home atop a sponge-keepers cart in Bahama Village, located in the heart of Key West. It is there that he meets Jake, a colorful gecko, whom he rescues from being chased by angry chickens. The two boys soon become the best of friends. Together, they share many adventures, from avoiding battle with Archie's sworn enemy, One eyed Jack, the meanest cat on the island, to taking manatee rides at night , and eventually, becoming stow-aways on an old sailing ship. The two save a beautiful white Dove, named Sarah,from being the captains dinner one night, and the three soon find a safe harbor in their friendship. Throughout their journey, the boys ,and Sarah, learn some big lessons, about life, and friendship and family, and the three of them grow up a little, along the way.
