When Reece arrives at Cathy's door aged 7 years old, he has already passed through the hands of four different carers in four weeks. As the details of his short life emerge, it becomes clear that to help him, Cathy will face her biggest challenge yet.

The latest title from the author of Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller Damaged.
Reece is the last of six siblings to be fostered. Having been in care for four months his aggressive and disruptive behaviour has seen him passed from carer to carer. Although only 7, he has been excluded from school, and bites people so often that his mother calls him 'Sharky'.

Cathy wants to find the answers for Reece's distressing behaviour, but he has been sworn to secrecy by his mother, and will not tell them anything. As the social worker prepares for the final hearing, he finds five different files on Reece's family, and is incredulous that he had not been removed from them as a baby. When the darkest of family secrets is revealed to Cathy, Reece's behaviour suddenly starts to make sense, and together they can begin to rebuild his life.

"Mummy Told me not to tell" is not about a young girl called Alice. Try reading "I miss Mummy" if you want to read the book that matches the above synopsis !

If you have read all of Cathy's books then you will most certainly like this one. At times you will feel frustrated and even angry at some of the events that happen but you know that in true Cathy style only what is right for her foster child will do. If it hadn't been for the fact that I had to work i wouldn't have put the book down. From the opening sentence to the last in the Epilogue I was captured. Guarenteed an excellent read as are all her books. I salute you Cathy Glass for the work you do and the endless love and concern you show these children.
