'Sarah hadn't wanted to come to Australia. She'd been
perfectly happy with things as they were in Singapore,
where school was for learning, and "being cool" was a
non-issue. Now Dad was trying his best to make her
into a "fair dinkum" Aussie while Mum was determined
to hang on to all the old Chinese traditions. As if
the kids at Sarah's new school didn't have enough to give
her a hard time about.
And that wasn't all ... When Sarah first started
hearing voices she knew that she must be losing the
plot. Who was Pei? What did she have to do with the
first Chinese arrivals in Adelaide in 1847? It all
began with the Festival of the Hungry Ghosts ...'. (Source: author's website.)
