Ghost Boys
by Jewell Parker Rhodes
A heartbreaking yet necessary story of Jerome and all the boys who have been killed before him. Jerome is killed by a police officer while playing with a toy gun in the park because he is black. As his ghost haunts his family and the family of the officer who killed him Jerome meets Emmet Till and learns his story. He also learns that Sarah the daughter of the officer can see him.
The beauty of this novel is the hope it leaves you at the conclusion. The hope that the youth will see the injustice and help to fight it.
Middle grade read. Good for grades 5-8th
