SASSY AND FUN, MELODY TRUMPET IS FILLED WITH FRIENDSHIP, HEART AND HUMOUR.

- Deb Abela, award-winning author of The Most Marvellous Spelling Bee Mystery

As the daughter of global music superstars, Melody Trumpet was supposed to be extraordinary - a melodic genius to carry on the Trumpet legacy.

But, as was discovered when Melody screamed her first out-of-tune note as a baby, this wasn't to be.

Ten years on, Melody is still kept away from the world in Trumpet Manor.

If only secrets could stay hidden...

For Melody Trumpet, it's about finding the extraordinary in ordinary!
