Steinbeck's Ghost

by Lewis Buzbee

Steinbeck's Ghost Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Its been two months since Traviss family moved from their shabby old house to a development so new that it seems totally unreal. Theres one place, though, where Travis can still connect with his old life: the Salinas library. Travis and his family used to go there together every Saturday, but now he bikes to it alone, re-reading his favorite books: the works of John Steinbeck. Suddenly Travis is seeing Steinbecks characters come to life. Theres the homeless man in the alley behind the library, the boy who writes by night in an attic bedroom. Travis has met them before—as a reader. But how can they be here now? And why?

Synopsis:

Buzbee delivers a satisfying mystery that involves a boy who loves books, a library threatened with closing, and, quite possibly, the ghost of writer John Steinbeck.

Synopsis:

What will Travis do when characters from books start appearing in his real life?
