Ghost Bird by Lisa Fuller

Ghost Bird by Lisa Fuller

A thrilling teen ghost story from a First Nations Australian author, drawing on the culture and beliefs of her close-knit community. Stacey and Laney are mirror twins, but as different as the sun and the moon. When Laney disappears, Stacey is haunted by dark and terrifying dreams. Stacey knows only she can find Laney but can she find her in time?

A raw and lyrical power surges through Lisa Fuller's Ghost Bird debut.. This is YA fiction at its most thrilling and enthralling. The sense of kinship, community, spirituality and ancestral bonds is tremendously powerful, and the writing uniquely beautiful. At once brutal and rivetingly lyrical, this is a multi-layered contemporary YA masterwork. Debut of the Month

Scary, raw, evocative and well-formed, Ghost Bird had me cowering under a blanket and avoiding the shadows
