Publisher's Synopsis
Rumour has it.that the girls have a couch in their bathroom. And they sometimes take naps in there. And guess what else? Whether we've been the subject of a rumour or the one spreading a rumour about someone else, most of us have been involved with rumours somehow. But how many people really stop to think about the damaging effects? Award-winning author, Julia Cook, cleverly brings this serious subject to light in an entertaining, but cautionary tale about the importance of NOT starting or spreading rumours. Told through the eyes of the rumour marble, the story describes how a simple misunderstanding starts a chain reaction that can't be undone! Children will laugh as they learn that it's much easier to prevent a train - or rolling rumour marble - from starting to roll forward than trying to stop one!
