Description

Her brothers and sisters are fearless, light as scuds, quick as hoppers. Not Mally. She knows too many secrets, that one. She is frighted, all right. Frozen at the edge of the shore, lonely as a cornstalk in a saltmarsh. But in Carrick things are changing and Mally needs to change too. Out of nowhere has come Dolyn Craig - a sneak and a bully but that's not the worst of it. He's also unexpected with it. What could he want with poor frightened Mally?.

Reviews

Ghostheart resonates with language both poetic and accessible, words and phrases that will have readers entranced... * Aussie Reviews * The world of Carrick is stark and beautiful, cruel and magical, encircled by the unforgiving sea. From the opening sentence, I entered the cave of this story willingly, bewitched by the eerie poetry of Ananda's words, and stepped out encrusted in salt, gritty with sand, and haunted. -- Carole Wilkinson Ghostheart is poignant and eerie, a tale that ebbs and flows like the ocean Mally is so afraid of * The Kylie Verse * This book is beautifull written, with flowing, lyrical prose * Magpies *
