About the Book:  What is that strange sound coming from Horace’s room? Momma and Poppa want to know! Who is he talking to in that conch shell? Why is the conch shell talking back?

Is it possible that their sweet little boy is communicating with some exotic creature from another world? Could he be... an alien?

The surprises in this fun adventure are told in poetry and prose and will delight readers of all levels. With both whimsy and gentleness, the story touches on parent-child relationships, trust, privacy, identity, acceptance and approval, and other relevant issues facing children and parents today. Most of all it will amuse and enlighten readers of all ages.

What I Thought: 

Another brilliant and wonderful children's book by Barbara Roman. Barbara, a singer and performer, captures the essence of a young boy singing and practicing in the privacy of his room. At the same time, his parents are perplexed by the noises coming from his room and try to spy on him with hilarious results. I smiled throughout this whole story. Filled with magical charm and humour, Horace Won't Sing is a winner and so is Barbara Roman. I loved this story. I love this author. Highly recommended!

About the Author:

As Barbara Roman, I am the author of the children's books, "Alicia and the Light Bulb People in Star Factory 13," "Hubert in Heaven - a hi-tech angel gets his wings," "The Prince Who Was A Piccolo," and my NEW RELEASE: "Horace Won't Sing (unless he doesn't have to)."

At once whimsical and magical, they are filled with deeper meanings that touch on spiritual and metaphysical philosophies. The characters are delightful and relatable, and there are many teachable moments about friendship, courage, self-esteem, bullying, and how to achieve your "star" potential through the magic of believing.

As B. Roman, I am the author of The Moon Singer Series, a YA metaphysical fantasy series (The Crystal Clipper, The War Chamber, The Wind Rose), as well as the prequel, "Before the Boy," and the historical romance, "The Immortal Rose Wyndham: The Beginning."

I have also penned the critically acclaimed suspense fiction "Whatever Became of Sin?" and "A Man's Face."

Barbara Roman (aka B. Roman) is the author of the inspirational Moon Singer Series and four children’s fantasy books. Because of her music background as a professional singer and composer, her books have their roots in music theories and metaphors, entwined with the magic and mystery of metaphysical concepts and matters of ethics, faith, compassion, love, and heroism. As a grounding force, Roman enjoys turning out a suspense fiction, exploring the human psyche as her book’s characters are caught up in intrigue, murder, and conspiracies, and try to balance the scales of good vs evil.
