THE BEST KEPT SECRET BY EMILY RODDA
$5
An incredible ride — a timeless adventure
Cecilia says merry-go-rounds are for little Kids, but Jo feels there's something mysterious and not at all childish about the carousel that has appeared overnight in Marley Street.
There's something odd about the beckoning music; something strange about the gleaming horses. And why are some people allowed to buy tickets to ride while others are turned away?
Jo wants a ticket. She wants it badly.
But will she be riding into danger?
A children's fantasy favourite for almost thirty years, The Best-Kept Secret was Emily Rodda's third novel and won the prestigious Children's Book Council of Australia's Book of the Year for Younger Readers Award in 1989.
