AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Concerns the attempts of Deepwater College Sixth Former, Billy Faraday, and his friend, Jack Symonds, to protect the Black Star, a sacred Aboriginal emblem given to Billy's father, from two crooks, Lazare and Tiger [...] Lazare appears at Deepwater College pretending to be the new History Master. His accomplice, Tiger, had previously attempted to steal the Black Stone from Billy while he was travelling back to school after the holidays. Most of the story details how the attempts of the bogus history master to steal the stone are thwarted by the two boys' (Source: Bonza Schooldays).
