The Cricket Learns to Sing (Cricket's Song, Book 1)

Cricket just wanted to learn how to play the harp. But his first teacher, Harper, taught him about being a bard, and all that it entails. When Cricket leaves the little farm he grew up on, he finds that not everyone knows the old rules, or follows them, and he has to decide for himself what is right--and how far he is willing to go to defend his beliefs.
