Give Me a Home Among the Gum Trees

Everyone knows seventeen-year old Grace Foley is a bit mad. She’s a prankster and a risk taker, and she’s not afraid of anything—except losing. As part of the long-running feud between Swanston Public School and Sacred Heart Private, Grace accepts a challenge to walk the pipe. That night she experiences something she can’t explain. The funny girl isn’t laughing anymore. She’s haunted by nightmares, voices and visions. As she’s drawn deeper into a twenty-year-old mystery surrounding missing girl, Hannah Holt, and the legend of William Dean, the thin veil between this world and the next begins to slip. She can no longer tell what’s real or imagined—all she knows is the ghosts of Swanston, including that of her own mother, are restless. It seems one of them has granted her an extraordinary gift at a terrible price and, if she tears through the veil, she risks losing everything: her family, her friends, her identity. Her mind. Everything about her is changing, her body, her thoughts, her very actions seem to be dictated by someone else...Why can she suddenly draw? A self-portrait, or is it…And why is the family dog so oddly aggressive around her? Strange talismans from the past keep appearing—a bent plastic star, a poem, a leather jacket, pictures of crows… Grace is losing control, and her friends don’t like it. Is she getting closer to answers about her mother’s death? About Hannah Holt and William Dean? Or is she heading for madness? Ballad for a Mad Girl
