Twelve-year-old Finn wakes up one day with super-hearing. It gives him 'dancing eyes' and fainting spells, makes him the target of the school bully, and opens a window onto his parents' failing marriage. At night he hears the dream-talk of Buseje, an asylum seeker who lives downstairs in the granny flat.<br> <br> Finn begins to retrieve the fragmented stories which spill out while Buseje sleeps, helping her untangle the terrible mysteries of her childhood. But as Finn's superpowers grow, he unwittingly unleashes ghosts from the past.<br> <br> As the immigration officers close in on Buseje, can Finn do anything to prevent her from being deported?<br> <br> Set against the political backdrop of the race riots in Sydney in 2005, <i>What the Boy Hears When the Girl Dreams</i> is a poignant insight into the silences and injustices that divide us, and the healing power of unlikely friendships.
