Ellie would never dream of taking something from her classroom without asking her teacher first. But the shell she finds during recess is particularly peculiar--and has a mysterious critter living inside it! Surprising even herself, she pops it in her pocket as a little secret when no one is looking. It's not long before the creature outgrows the shell and starts to weigh Ellie down.
Does Ellie have a secret, or does the secret have her?
This spectacular debut by author-illustrator Amelia Bothe explores the delights and perils of keeping secrets as well as the rewards of being honest. Gorgeous art of this magical beast wows on every page.
