How I Became a Ghost, Book 1: A Choctaw Trail of Tears Story by Tim Tingle

4.0

I read this book at the recommendation of one of my students -- I'm glad I did! It is a wonderful little story about one of the most horrific events in American history. The book sometimes felt like it wanted a larger scope, covering more of the history of the Choctaw nation, but it was at its best when focusing on the small observations and interactions of the young Indian boy witnessing the horrors of the Trial of Tears.
