Description
Suitable for boys and girls aged 7 to 9 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 that keeping secrets can have on all those 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 off as innocent fun, ends up being nasty when Ant uses the secret to ‘get his own back’. When Billy accidently damages his dad’s new car he makes a pact with Ant about keeping it a secret. This puts a burden on them both, and nearly 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 own up? How does Ant cope with keeping secrets?
Billy Knows A Secret is the eighth title in the Billy Books series. Each book addresses a unique topic—bullying, arrogant pride, jealousy, lying, stealing, lack of self-belief, understanding money, and secrets. Written to help parents, guardians and teachers deal with the issues that challenge pre-teen children; each topic is presented in a gentle way through storytelling. Setting the issues in a meaningful context helps children to understand the challenges, and to see things from a different perspective. The books act as icebreakers allowing for discussions of difficult subjects. Additionally, each title is supported by a free activity book to reinforce the learning, while having fun.
Buying this book today will guide your child in dealing with this destructive behaviour.

James is the father of two grown-up children, a stepfather to three others, and a grandfather to seven more. Therefore, he has a lot at stake. His only wish is for all children, teenagers, and adults to thrive in life, regardless of their background, beliefs, or values. He began writing fifteen years ago, creating books that appeal to the inner child in all adults and feature very British humour - The Hole Trilogy. He continued his creative journey by writing an eight-book series for children aged 7 to 9 years old - The Billy Growing Up Series. These stories are traditional, addressing negative behaviours with positive outcomes for children. The Eyes-Wide-Open Series for Gen Zers emerged from his appreciation for the rapid changes affecting the world and his observation of how upcoming generations, like us all, are struggling to make sense of what is happening around them.
