Ghost Boys


Ghost Boys by Jewell Parker Rhodes, 214 pages
"After seventh-grader Jerome is shot by a white police officer, he observes the aftermath of his death and meets the ghosts of other fallen black boys including historical figure Emmett Till."  This was a difficult books to read.  Although the story is sad, there is hope.  It’s well written and I think that a lot of kids would enjoy reading it, even if it is upsetting to them.
