The Ghosts of Lone Jack

Résumé du livre

The Ghosts of Lone Jack follows Jared Millhouse as the ghosts of the bloodiest Civil War battle in Missouri interrupt his quiet summer at his grandfather's farm. Jared explores the story of the battle while looking for the key to release the ghosts, all with the help of his dad, his grandfather, his new friends, the town eccentrics and two 'professional' ghost hunters. Jared and his friends take on haunted caves, baseball fields, battlefields, and cemeteries. They face down Rebel and Bluecoat ghouls as they continue their centuries old bloody struggle. With characters sure to appeal to students (ages 12 and up), The Ghosts of Lone Jack provides an entertaining read for them, as well as a starting point for discussions about the causes of the Civil War, the divisions it caused in communities, the realities of nineteenth century battles and the lingering effects of the war. Proceeds from The Ghosts of Lone Jack are donated to the Lone Jack Civil War Museum, Battlefield & Cemetery.
