Some kids use fake ID. But to find out your Gran used fake ID for years is a shock!
For Zoe's family history assignment, she had to interview Gran, her oldest relative. But Zoe was too late to talk with her. On the day of Gran's funeral, Zoe found Gran's "not to be opened until after my death" package. So she opened it.
Turns out, Gran was not just Madga, she had other names, too. And other lives. Had she been a "con-artist" or a political activist?
Zoe discovers that not all families are as they first appear. There is even evidence that her gran may have been a bigamist. Just who was she and why did she assume a new identity when she left Hungary in the fifties?
With the help of her hockey-playing, "techie" mate, Luke, Zoe tries to find some answers via www.finalthoughts.com (a website where people can leave final messages), the Dead Persons' Society (a genealogists group) and Red Cross International which finds Missing People.
This is a mystery about identity, politics and family history, set in present-day Melbourne but also against the background of the Hungarian revolution of 1956.
