DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe ghost of a young soldier from the Civil War haunts a troubled teen. "I sat up. The jagged trenches were only soft grassy depressions in the sunny battlefield park. I felt tears burn my eyes, the relief was so strong, and then the misery of losing the ghost hit me." Alexander has the ability to see ghosts. But it's been several years since his last encounter. When he reluctantly joins his father on a long trip away from home, a surprise awaits him. In the unfamiliar territory of North Carolina, Alexander is confronted by the ghost of a young soldier who lost his life in the Civil War. As an unusual friendship develops between the two, Alexander is drawn into a new reality where he comes face to face with the haunting past of his soldier friend. But can Alexander help this troubled ghost, and can he, finally, come to terms with his own disturbing past? With deftness and insight, Elaine Marie Alphin tells a gripping story that weaves the supernatural with the historical. Ghost story fans and Civil War buffs alike are in for a real treat. Ghost Soldier is a nominee for the 2002 Edgar Award for Best Juvenile Mystery.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKI have a confession to make. When I read, I run one finger along the text, just to keep my place. It's weird, I know- and it makes it look like I'm about seven, or illiterate. But I'm not, I swear- at least you believe me. That's more than I can say for my English teacher. The funny thing is, everything that happened afterward is a direct result of this finger in the text thing, and even though that makes for a weird story, you've got time to listen, so just chill and I'll tell you all about it.
