How I Became a Ghost was a book about a Choctaw boy named Isaac who could see the ghosts of his fellow people. It was about his journey on the Trail of Tears and the process of Isaac's life getting closer and closer to him becoming a ghost. The book was interesting and told you a lot about the Choctaw Tribes journey on the Trail of Tears and their different customs and culture. Some parts of the book were boring and not very interesting. I'm not sure I really liked the part where Isaac was a ghost and I thought it was more interesting to read about him when he was still alive. I think this would be a good book for anyone who is looking for a bit of adventure and interesting stories about the Choctaw people.
