A ferret finds her way into the music

Set in the Jazz Age, Flora and the Jazzers recasts the Cinderella pattern around a ferret who works as a scullery maid in a hotel. Flora longs to hear her favorite band, but her manager bars her from attending their concert. When the Jazzers encounter a problem, Flora’s knowledge and determination give her a chance to help. The setup brings together music, class barriers, and a heroine whose interest in the band is more than a private wish. Astrid Sheckels writes and illustrates the 40-page story; a QR code in the book provides access to audiobook streaming.

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.
