A chapter book for children aged 7 to 10 years.
Keeping secrets safe can be a burden for a child. Children need to be able to confide in a responsible adult. Help your child understand the impact of keeping secrets on everyone involved. Billy Field and Ant Turner are asked to keep a secret from Max Turner, Ant’s sister, about her upcoming birthday present. What starts as innocent fun ends up being nasty when Ant uses the secret to ‘get his own back’. When Billy accidentally damages his dad’s new car, he makes a pact with Ant about keeping it a secret. This puts a heavy burden on both of them and almost gets Eddy Jost into a lot of trouble. Does Max find out what her surprise birthday present is? Did Eddy get into more trouble? Will Billy admit the truth? How does Ant handle keeping secrets? Billy Knows A Secret is the eighth title in the Billy Growing Up series. Each book explores a different topic—bullying, arrogance, jealousy, lying, stealing, lack of self-belief, understanding money, and secrets. Written to help parents, guardians, and teachers address issues that challenge pre-teen children, each topic is presented in a gentle way through storytelling. Framing these issues in a meaningful context helps children understand the challenges and see things from a different perspective. The books act as conversation starters, encouraging discussions on complex subjects. Each title is also supported by a free activity book to reinforce learning while having fun. Buying this book today will help guide your child in managing this potentially destructive behaviour.
