He does like to talk almost as much as he likes to eat, and he does stretch the truth sometimes, but when his best friend Charlie tells him he likes a girl, his secret's safe with Morgan. Until Aldeen Hummel, the Godzilla of Grade Three, comes along. Morgan's afraid of Aldeen--"adults" are afraid of Aldeen--so when she leans on him, Morgan blabs. When she learns he's told her a secret, Aldeen figures she "owns" Morgan, and lets him know it. Soon, however, they find the secret they share brings them together more than it sets them apart. "Morgan's Secret" is a story about the difficulties of keeping secrets, and the rewards of telling the truth. |
