Frog Pond Summary Althea is a 13-year-old girl who lives in a little isolated society far away from the problems of the big cities. She is a member of an exclusive gathering of people, who have fled from the dictatorship that rules the cities with an iron hand. When Althea one bright morning was down by the pond, doing a little frogging she meets a nervous person called Stan. Judging by the way that he acted, you could tell he was on the run. Stan was on his way to recruit people, to join his riot, whose purpose was to knock down the system and form democracy. He had come to the wrong place because Althea and all the other members of the society had learned from childhood, not to trust or talk to strangers. Stan realised the people from this society, were a lot better informed about how things worked than he had imagined. That was because Mr. Wainwright taught the pupils about the system, and Mr. Thompson taught biology. Stan also meets with the polluted pond, and the pines that had changed colour.
