Sylvan Zaft Second edition. Peter Jameson and his friends at Cardiff Elementary want their own secret language that the grown-ups won’t understand, but learning Latin, French, or Spanish would take too long. Their search finally leads them to Ethel Wingate, an eccentric old lady with an infectious smile and a strange obsession with green stars. She introduces them to a special language they can begin speaking after just a week of study.

When they use the language at school, however, some of the other kids start treating them differently. Ugly rumors are spread. Fights break out. And the principal clamps down with an order of “English Only!” forcing Peter and his friends to make a difficult choice.

Both children and adults can enjoy “Peter Jameson’s Secret Language” and start learning this real-life “secret” language along with Peter and his friends.
