A ghost may be heard if you walk by that billabong. Parents of lonely children be warned. Harry’s imaginary friend was real—well, she was to him. To become the cattle king wasn’t a goal that Harry could easily accomplish, but the seven-year-old had that something extra that only neglected children would fully understand. He’d practiced for a year, since the day his sister Emily, the contender for his mother’s attention, was born. His tin soldier would storm the toy Fife Downs Cattle Station and take the male heirs of the property prisoners. He would make Mummy the cattle queen, and then she would have time to love him. It was just a child’s game—or was it? Grandpa, Alan Fife, had his mystery friend too. His goals were for his teenage sweetheart Charlotte to find peace, settle the vengeance crimes that escalated when she was murdered beside the billabong decades earlier, and to leave before Alan's grandchildren became victims of payback. But were the children already involved? This is a coming-of-age novel that at times becomes a psychological thriller. BONUS: Back of book Glossary of Australian Words. With the word billabong = waterhole, in the publisher's name, you will know that this book contains Australian words, e.g. station = ranch.

Ghost Adventure By paintmonet Billabong Ghost by Ryn Shell begins at the end of World War Two in the Australian Outback.I think that the book is loosely based on real characters and it's interesting from that aspect alone. Some of the slang is challenging, but for what's not obvious from context, is captured in the glossary the author thoughtfully included.The story revolves around a cattle baron named Fife living in the area a days travel outside of Sydney, (the Blue Mountains perhaps?). In effect, It's an Australian Western. There's a mystery surrounding the death of Charlotte, a long dead mixed race girl killed in the creek during what's called the Fife Springs Massacre. She is the Billabong Ghost and she gives guidance to those that seek her out. Apparently, there was an illicit relationship between her and the cattle baron that ended with her death. Now she haunts the billabong, a seasonal creek bed important to cattle ranchers in watering their cattle.I've been to Australia twice and at one point did some horseback riding in the Blue Mountains outside of Sydney, so when the book mentioned damper, camp bread baked in a Dutch oven, it brought back memories that had turned fond over time. I think this book gives insight into Australian history and relations with Aboriginal tribesman and folklore. Therefore, it will be appealing to folks interested in such cultural things.It's an enjoyable read and offers inexpensive time travel to Australia in the aftermath of WWII. To me, visualizing how Australians viewed the war was worth the price of admission alone. The narrative imparts some interesting and unknown history of that period. To wit, the Australian Air Force scattered their forces and disguised them as homesteads and some Australians made their own military uniforms.

The lives of the characters are woven through a tale of Australia in the 1950's, I learnt some hisotrical information and was so keen to get the next book and continue to get to know more of the families lives. Would highly recommend.

It Flowed and Kept Me Interested By Avid Reader I thought I would be put off by the fact that there is Australian dialogue in this book that I was unfamiliar with, but the reader is able to decipher what those words mean as they read through the sentence. So it's not just for people who know the dialect, but for everyone. I did read through the glossary of terms at the back for my own curiosity, and I found it to be very informative.On to the actual book itself. I just want to start off with `wow'. I mean, it was an intriguing twist of events that led up to an amazing climax that really blew my mind! Charlotte was an amazing character, and I really felt for her throughout the story as well as at the end. Even after I found out what she had done. I'm not going to go any deeper than that because it would ruin the story. The young boy, Harry, is a sad character throughout this book, and I really felt for him as well. I don't want to give too much away here, either, but just the way his parents treated him made me feel bad for him.I really can't wait to read the second one, and I'm off to do that right now!
