Can You Keep a Secret?

Clever use of language coupled with a dry, somewhat tongue-in-cheek, approach by the illustrator lifts this book into more than just an enjoyable interlude. Sophie has a secret which she shares with her best friend. The secret spreads like a game of Chinese Whispers altering slightly with each retelling until it finally comes back to Sophie changed out of all recognition! Sophie, however, is equal to the situation and neatly turns the table on them all.
