Marianne Musgrove tackles a sensitive topic with laugh-out-loud humour. A ripper yarn for nine to 12s.

Don't Breathe a Word is a beautiful little novel, packed with mysteries.

Children's Book Council of Australia
Musgrove has written this book with sensitivity, insight and bitter-sweet humour … Mackenzie is such a creative, brave and resourceful little girl that I found myself yearning for a happy ending.
Good Reading
Funny and sad at the same time, this book is a really amazing read by a top Aussie author!
Girl Power
Easy to digest and full of flavour describes this short novel that could be read by eight-year-olds but will suit readers of 10 or 11 years.
Australian Bookseller + Publisher
This is a wonderful story that gives a child's perspective of dementia and the responsibilities that a carer has to face. Without lecturing, it gently teaches through story - awareness, consideration and compassion.
