When a ghost talks, listen. (How I became a ghost series, book 2.) : a Choctaw Trail of Tears story

SINCE YOU'RE READING my second book, you already know who I am. You know my name is Isaac, that I'm ten years old, soon to be eleven, and you know I am a ghost. I am not dead, not in the usual way. I am not buried and gone, but I am a ghost.I have learned to travel by closing my eyes and thinking where I want to be. That's how ghosts do it. I can disappear so no one can see me or I can gradually float into sight, as you will recall. But I didn't tell you everything about being a ghost. I didn't want to terrify you. But you're older now—you can handle it. As Book 2 in Tim Tingle's award-winning How I Became A Ghost Series begins, his family continues the long walk to Indian Territory, and ten-year-old Isaac, our narrator and now a ghost, meets the famed Choctaw Chief and U.S. Army General Pushmataha. There have been surprises aplenty on the Trail thus far, but this one tops them all or so he thinks, until Isaac and his three Choctaw comrades learn they can now also time travel. With Pushmataha as their guide, Isaac and friends head back in time to the Washington,D.C., of 1824 to bear witness for the Choctaw chief who has come to the nation s capital at the invitation of his dear friend Andrew Jackson. You cannot blame the people before you for mistakes their ancestors made, Chief Pushmataha tells the little band, making a powerful and timeless lesson one made more so as the reader travels from graveyards to boarding schools, from 1824 to 2018, experiencing firsthand the joy of never leaving. "Ten-year-old Isaac, now a ghost, continues with his people as they walk the Choctaw Trail of Tears headed to Indian Territory in what will one day become Oklahoma.
