I really wanted to be able to give this book a higher rating and suggest it to my school but it was too hard to follow due to the choppy style. I loved the idea of the ghost train but it quickly became confusing, such a shame. There needs to be more books that appeal to middle school and YA that address race/racism and police brutality.
