In The Silent Song and the Apology Jar, school isn't just about tests and textbooks—it's about trust, teamwork, and the tiny moments that change everything. This collection of 12 short stories captures the emotional highs and lows of school life for kids aged 9–12, blending humor, heart, and a dash of mystery.

Follow Olivia as she investigates a Band Room Ghost and uncovers a touching legacy, and join Maya in The Secret Life of Lost-and-Found, where a forgotten item holds the key to a lonely student's past. When The Apology Jar turns sour, can anyone repair the damage with a little courage?

From a No-Talking Challenge that changes how one girl sees her classmates, to The Glue Bottle Incident that sticks rivals together, these stories explore real feelings with warmth and insight.

Friendships are tested in Best Friend Swap Week, reputations are saved in The Birthday Lie, and bonds are built in quiet moments—like The Silent Song that brings an entire choir together without a single word.

For readers who love connection, community, and stories that leave a smile (or a tear), this collection is a perfect fit.
