The Secret World of Annette Robinson: A Novel

Second-Hand

Excellent condition

Ten-year-old Annette Robinson lives with her family in the big boarding house at 49 Murray Street, Kings Cross.

It's a now-vanished world of wirelesses and Sunday roasts, of battlers, bashers and beloved friends, a world where children are seen but not heard.

But Anette has another secret world, full of questions. Where is Aunty Julie? And why will no one tell her? What was Daddy doing in Rushcutters Bay Park, and what is behind the mysterious locked door?

At night, Annette dreams of flying over Kings Cross, and has terrifying nightmares about a ghostly grey lady at the top of the stairs.

Inevitably, these two worlds cannot be kept apart forever...
