Description
44 Tiny Secrets by Sylvia Bishop follows the journey of Betsy Bow-Linnet, who is determined to become a world-famous concert pianist like her parents. There’s just one problem: no matter how hard she practises, she doesn't share their musical talents.
So when a mysterious letter arrives from a woman claiming to know of a Method that will make Betsy’s playing ‘stupendous’, Betsy jumps at the chance. There's just one condition: she must keep the Method a secret.
But it isn't just one secret—it's forty-four tiny secrets in the shape of a boxful of pygmy mice! Betsy is mystified. How are they going to help her play the piano and—more importantly—how on earth can she keep them all a secret?
