Stella Kowalick:

The fair ground that they live on was built on a graveyard, where most of Aurelie's relatives are buried and at night they come out and the only person who doesn't know is Aurelie.  On Aurelie's 12th birthday, at 12 o'clock, when she can't get to sleep and goes outside to get some fresh air, she saw ghosts everywhere; mainly on the ghost train.

Alex Miller:

Aurelie Bonhoffen’s remarkable secret is that the Bonhoffen family have magic powers.  You get the magic powers on your 12th birthday and that is what makes their seaside pier so successful.  When Aurelie finds out from her new friend at school that she has heard rumours that bad sorcerers are after her family and their ever so successful seaside pier Aurielie Bonhoffen decides she must use her secret to help save her family, the seaside pier and to stop the evil sorcerers.

April McMillan:

Aurelie’s great, great, great grandfather was an archaeologist in Egypt and was digging up an Egyptian temple and found a beautiful golden amulet and stole it from the temple.  But there was a curse on that amulet. A curse that would make the Bonhoffens and all their generations to come see ghosts.

Jesse Flemming:

Aurelie gazed into the darkness as her dad told her that their family’s secret is that every 2nd generation in their family is turned into a reaper when they are 16 years old.  Aurelie knew she was the 2nd generation but the other generations were werewolves.  After that day Aurelie wished she would never turn 16 or else...

    "There's something we've been keeping from you for a long time," Uncle Rolo said. ‘We're fairies."  Aurelie thought they were joking.

    "What?  We can't be.  I don't see any of you flying around spreading fairy dust!  They don't even exist!"  Aurelie's mother stepped in.

    "We're not that type of fairy.  We don't have wings or magic wands."  Aurelie's head was spinning.

    "Is this a joke?  I'm not a fairy!  I would've realised that by now.”

    "I'm sorry we didn't tell you sooner, Aurelie, but it's all true.  Being a fairy is hard work and it's about time we told you."

    "Yeah," Uncle Rolo added, "You know that big vase sitting in the lounge room? That's were we keep our secret things.  You know, like all our fairy stuff.  We have the ability to make things small, so that's where we hid them.”

    "And that little friend of yours that moved schools…" her mother started.

    "She wasn't my friend.  She bullied me every day.  I told you guys about it and a week later she went to another state or something."

    "You're interfering uncle here, decided to send her on a trip," her mother spat out.

    "This is not happening!  You're not fairies.  This is just too creepy!"  Aurelie ran to her room, thinking her family was going crazy.  She was about to find out a whole new meaning, of being a fairy.
