Ghost boy is a novel which is set in Quarantine Station in Sydney, Australia.There are two main characters Fred(usually called Froggy) and Thaddeus(usually called Tad).
After Froggy's family has moved to Sydney, Froggy keeps expriencing nightmare of drowning. One day, his dream comes true and Fred meets the 'ghost' Tad. It was also when diseases were so common in Sydney and people were dying out. Froggy realises that the future relies on the understanding of the past.
The problem at the start is Froggy and Tad do not trust each other.And there is a new character introduced-Cassie. As the time goes, they start to trust each other and start to solve the secrets of the family treasure. They will only be set free if they solve the secret. Tad was exiled when Sydney was griped by a smallpox outbreak.
This book was intersting because it involves the unknown part of the nature.It has an element of the supernatural.Also the story contains historical facts. The language is simple and easy to understand. I think this book is worth reading.
