HOW I BECAME A GHOST

The first in a trilogy, How I Became a Ghost thinly disguises an important and oft-overlooked piece of history.

Told in the words of Isaac, a Choctaw boy who does not survive the Trail of Tears, this novel is a tale of innocence and resilience in the face of tragedy.

From the opening line, "Maybe you have never read a book written by a ghost before," the reader is put on notice that this is no normal book. Isaac leads a remarkable foursome of Choctaw comrades: a tough-minded teenage girl, a shape-shifting panther boy, a lovable five-year-old ghost who only wants her mom and dad to be happy, and Isaac's talking dog, Jumper.
