Char grew up in a haunted house. Did it mess her up? You be the judge. THE EXCHANGE: An Australian teen’s guide to dealing with boys, authority, and a poltergeist. Goody-goody Char buries her creepy past, but secrets can’t be hidden forever. Bestowed a chance to travel to Canada on student exchange, she's offered a gateway to reinvent herself, an existence where fear won't overshadow love's playground, but perhaps the troubles lurking beyond her childhood bedroom are worse than imagined. Can a fresh identity help her face new predicaments? Can old fears resurface and undo everything she has created?A disturbing yet comical reflection on how the journey towards loving yourself and others is strange, dark and dangerous. Join Char as she blurs the fine line between what’s real and imaginary, telling her shocking story with prose, poetry and actual diary entries, on her first bizarre adventure: THE EXCHANGE. She will make you wonder what lies beyond fear - love, insanity, or something different.
