Produktbeschreibung
A present-day 10-year-old girl discovers that there's a ghost in her neighbor's basement, so she, her brother and her friends set out to help that ghost find his way to the spirit world. This adventure has many twists and turns that will capture your imagination. There's the ghost of an Indian boy in the basement across the street! That's what Orion, her brother Ollie and neighbor kids Sal and Sofi Martelli discover in the Martellis' basement. Now they understand all the weird things that have been happening since the Martellis moved in. Eleven-year-old Samuel Grayhawk died in an accident while attending the Shawnee Indian Mission school, which stands a few blocks from the kids' homes. He's been waiting more than 100 years for someone to help him find the spirit of his sister Molly. He avoids grown-ups, so the kids must keep him a secret while trying to find a way to learn Molly's fate. Using their wits, imagination and a tall order of faith, they get answers. The catch? If Samuel finds Molly, he'll go to the spirit world and they'll never see him again.

Autorenporträt
A lifelong Kansan, Fran Borin grew up hearing about the turbulent, sometimes violent history of the eastern part of the state. Bleeding Kansas, the Border War, stops on the Underground Railroad-all were within a few miles of her childhood home, and didn't seem that long ago to her. Despite an abiding interest in history and early aspirations to writing, her education and experience led in different directions-teaching, motherhood, and federal law enforcement. The writing bug, however, was dormant but not dead. One day she read a newspaper article that reported ghost sightings near the Shawnee Indian Mission. She mulled it over for the next twenty-five years, and the result were the stories of Samuel Grayhawk, Susie Chase, and Noah and Katie Wheeler.Fran lives with her husband within walking distance of the Shawnee Indian Mission, a short drive from the Quindaro district of Kansas City, and less than an hour from the Wakarusa region of Lawrence. She has three grown children.
