Scary Children’s Book 

Ghosts 

Black History 

 

I really enjoyed this book and the Black history we got throughout the book (racial segregation, especially as it relates to pools and swimming). This book is compared to Mary Downing Hahn and I definitely see the resemblance. However, this is a book I would recommend to kiddos who need something a little less scary than some of MDH’s books. It’s one that I could see elementary readers enjoying. 

 

I’ve heard good things about The Forgotten Girl by this author and look forward to giving that one a try in the future.
