A sassy ghost story with a Chinese twist.

Amy is always the support act to the beautiful and glamorous Rebecca. When they find a locket during an 80s dress-up day, Rebecca does not want anything to do with it as she thinks it is ugly. Using wisdom borrowed from Tolkien, Amy is able to open the locket and when she does she releases the ghost inside. Logan, the handsome teenager - obviously meant to haunt Rebecca, but stuck with Amy.

About the Author

Shirley Marr wishes she were many things. Like the front woman of a hot band rocking an audience in an ultra-short mini, but unfortunately she's tone deaf with appalling emo poetry skills. It's a good thing then that writing is her biggest, maddest love. Shirley writes what she describes as tragedy-comedy-drama YA fiction with "Mad-Bad-Little-Miss-Lady-Macbeths". She is the author of the YA novel Fury, released May 2010 published by black dog books. Shirley is an accountant by day and a writer by night.

Industry Reviews

Preloved is an engaging read about a girl stuck on the precipice of yesterday and today, not sure whether to fall back or leap forward. * Aussie Reviews *
...Preloved is brilliant. Funny and honest and all kinds of awesome. -- Steph Bower
Sue Lawson's novels for young adults reflect her empathy, familiarity with their behaviour and knowledge of the disadvantages some have to contend with. Pan, the protagonist and narrator, is a convincing and memorable character. * Magpies *
An interesting book about why children may end up in foster care, with real insights into the difficulties of a childhood littered with complications. * Reading Time *
Preloved is an entertaining, light read. * Magpies Magazine *
