The Drummer Boy's Secret

By Dianna Aubin

Some messages were never meant to be written... only heard.

When eleven-year-old Elijah discovers an old trunk hidden in his grandparents' attic, he expects to find little more than forgotten keepsakes. Instead, he uncovers a worn drumstick and a strange page filled with mysterious patterns; markings that don't look like words but feel like something more.

When Elijah taps out the rhythm, the past answers.

Drawn into the world of Thomas Reed, a young drummer boy in the Revolutionary War, Elijah learns that the patterns are not just music; they are a secret message. A warning of danger. A plan to save lives. But the message was never fully delivered... and history never recorded what happened next.

Now, across time, Elijah must finish what Thomas started.

As he pieces together the hidden code, Elijah realizes he isn't alone. Someone; or something; is helping him. Leading him. Waiting for the message to be heard at last.

Because some secrets don't stay buried.

And some stories are too important to be forgotten.
