In the dim light cast by a single candle I saw a woman in a turban seated behind a table covered in black velvet. She stared into a crystal ball and nodded her head. 'You are running away from something.'
'Smelly. Shirlynne. Buttface. A Scottish terrier. Thumper. A snake. And I should probably be running away from Marcus as well.'
She shook her head and waved her hands. 'No, no, you must give me no hints. I see what I see in the crystal ball. I will tell you three things. Three things only will I tell you. One is that there will be a betrayal. Two is that you must make a choice. Three is that you must fight the devil of desire.' She switched her gaze from the crystal ball to me. I held my breath as her eyes narrowed. 'Now go, and do not forget.'
Tommo on trumpet and Mikki on drums have always been the backbone of the school band. But when Mikki discovers a passion for football, Tommo finds himself torn between winning glory as a trumpet soloist and learning drums to save the band. Lurching from mishap to mayhem, he must somehow dodge the clutches of a die hard coach, the teeth of the principal's pampered pooch and the attentions of a love sick Shirlynne. Will he emerge, conscience and body intact?
