Billy loves playing his trombone. The big problem is, the rest of his family can really blow, but he sucks. The Brass Soloists' Competition is coming up and Billy feels excluded. Frustrated, he goes to practise in the hills, where he falls asleep. He wakes up and his luck is changed by some strange creatures. Will he get to play at the competition? Will he bring shame on his family? This is a must read for any youngster (even at heart) who loves a good story or is a brass player. Full of exciting twists and turns, and memorable characters, this story is a delightful first trip into the World of Musical Tales.
