An Australian book published in 1991 and is an easy read suitable for 10-12 year olds. It is a light-hearted mystery about a young girl, Rebecca, who has to sleep in a back room at an old inn her parents are renovating. She believes the room is haunted and follows clues left there by the ghost of a bushranger. She has few issues at her new school and is desperate to shine a not just to be another hundred and thousand. When the press arrives to follow the story about her resident bushranger she is very excited, but she unprepared for the humiliation which is to follow. The ending is a bit tame and sudden but the book has enough happening to keep you reading and guessing. There is very little about this author on the net and this book is becoming increasingly difficult to buy.
This blog contains reviews and comments on children's books which I own, have read, and would like to share. I look for books at markets and opportunity shops. They are cleaned up, covered and read. Then I take them to the classroom for students to read. Students can borrow the books at any time. Many books are also from my personal library, especially the Youth Fiction. Students can preview some of them on this blog. Now, I am also on the lookout for great new releases for my grandson Archie.
