What will become of the music in Flora's heart?

Flora the ferret longs to attend a concert someday, but she is only a lowly scullery maid. She must save every penny. When she discovers that the Jazzers, her favorite band, are performing at the hotel where she works, Flora is determined to hear them. But her manager forbids her from going. "Music is not for someone like you," he tells her.

It turns out, however, that the Jazzers have a problem, and Flora might be just the one to help.

Flora and the Jazzers is a lush, Jazz Age Cinderella story about a heart-and a voice-that won't be silenced, written and illustrated by Astrid Sheckels.
