Also, a little more woo-woo than I anticipated (I'm down for some woo-woo, I just didn't expect it in a realistic fiction story). Very ghost, good family relationships, good in the kindness department, and I LOVE how Sarah's mom is willing to go to mat with grandma over the inappropriateness of switching. Also addresses the horrifying conditions of Jim Crow and church burning and lynching in a kid-appropriate way -- as much as it can be. ( ) A fun ghost story tempered with the more serious history of white/back relations of the past, suspenseful, just enough scare for this age level. Some populations will have problems with the ghosts, digging up Abner’s grave, Mrs. Whitney’s spiritual workings to heal the haints. Along the lines of “The Parker Inheritance.” sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Twelve-year-old Sarah is finally in charge. At last, she can spend her summer months reading her favorite science books and bossing around her younger brother, Ellis, instead of being worked to the bone by their overly strict grandmother, Mrs. Greene. But when their cousin, Janie arrives for a visit, Sarah's plans are completely squashed. Janie has a knack for getting into trouble and asks Sarah to take her to Creek Church: a landmark of their small town that she heard was haunted. It's also off-limits. Janie's sticky fingers lead Sarah, Ellis and his best friend, Jasper, to uncover a deep-seated part of the town's past. With a bit of luck, this foursome will heal the place they call home and the people within it they call family. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
