How is this a children's book?!? I admit that as a Greek woman I was only vaguely aware of the trail of tears but how is this a children's book. People drop dead right, left and centre. Am I the only one who wants bad things to happen to the soldiers? Like awfully bad? Well, I am pretty sure that their grandchildren are the same people who refuse to wear a mask so they are spreading covid19, so not much has changed. *Spoiler* this is a story about a 10-year-old who dies literally and becomes a ghost. I do not know why I thought it was a metaphor; it's right there on the title, but still.
Here is a phrase that struck me That's when I realized for the first time that the soldiers couldn't hurt me. I was already dead! Maybe being a ghost wasn't so bad after all.
What? WHAT???? He is TEN. Don't get me wrong; you must read this book, just be prepared to cry.
