It was billed as a supernatural thriller but was more a YA melodrama set in an Aboriginal Australian community. A teenage girl, Laney, goes missing when she's out stealing with a group of boys and the family rallies round to search for her. Her twin sister Stacey has dreams that seem to show what her sister is experiencing, and there are whispered stories of similar things happening to women previously. It's nicely done, building up a picture of strong familial bonds in a harsh environment. I could have done with more exploration of the supernatural elements, but it was a satisfying read.

Stacey and Laney are twins – mirror images of each other – and yet they’re as different as the sun and the moon. Stacey works hard at school, determined to get out of their small town. Laney skips school and sneaks out of the house to meet her boyfriend. But when Laney disappears one night, Stacey can’t believe she’s just run off without telling her.?As the days pass and Laney doesn’t return, Stacey starts dreaming of her twin. The dreams are dark and terrifying, difficult to understand and hard to shake, but at least they tell Stacey one key thing – Laney is alive. It’s hard for Stacey to know what’s real and what’s imagined and even harder to know who to trust. All she knows for sure is that Laney needs her help.?Stacey is the only one who can find her sister. Will she find her in time? Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

I loved the author's writing style. I felt immersed in Tace's big, noisy family and her community with its prejudices. It was fascinating to get a glimpse into the Aboriginal culture. The language may be difficult for younger readers but I thought it gave the novel authenticity.
However, I was disappointed with the ending - it felt a bit rushed - but, overall, "Ghost Bird" was a rich tale that kept this reader on the edge of her seat through most of the story. ( )
