Audrey's Big Secret
by Christine Harris (Author) Ann James (Illustrator)
Audrey Barlow has woken up in the dead of night and needs to go to the bathroom. The only problem is, the bathroom is an outhouse and is out yonder down the garden path. And if that isn’t bad enough, Audrey sees what she thinks is a ghost! It’s not such a far-fetched idea, especially as her twin sisters, Esther and Pearl, who tragically died at birth are buried out the back. But Audrey soon discovers that it wasn’t a ghost she spotted at all, but a young aboriginal girl her own age named Janet. Audrey soon learns that Janet has run away from a mission and together they must think of a way to keep Janet from being taken again.
Readers will love Audrey and her determination to see that something so wrong must be made right.
