Big Noise in Town

Billy Wheeler has always been a noisy kid. But ever since his parents split up, Billy's Mum has been trying to keep him quiet and sensible. Billy reckons "sensible" is a grown-up's code word for something that's good for you, but boring. There's nothing sensible about the drum kit he wants to buy, and that drum kit is going to get him everything he wants, the chance to drum like a rock star, but most of all the chance to spend more time with his dad. First person recount. Suggested level: primary, intermediate.
