Hide AdAndrew, a passionate advocate for music education, said: "I wanted to write a children’s adventure novel with music and sound running through it as central themes.
"I hope to encourage readers to explore music further in their lives, perhaps joining a music group or even taking up an instrument or singing.”
Andrew says the book is aimed at children aged eight to 12. He added: "I would love to visit more schools here in Leicestershire, to read the book, share ideas with pupils and lead some music-making. I'm sure they would have a blast!"
The book costs £7.99. Visit www.bookguild.co.uk/bookshop/book/449/drumendus to find out more about buying a copy, or www.drumendus.com to contact Andrew.
