Flora the ferret longs to attend a concert someday, but she is only a lowly scullery maid. When she discovers that her favorite band is 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.

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